Apple is planning to refresh its MacBook Pro line-up with its new M2 chipset as early as this autumn, going by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Responding to a question in his Power On newsletter, Gurman said (via Engadget) that the design will likely remain the same as last year, but the major focus will be on the M2 versions of Apple's M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets.

He also expects the number of ports and the addition of MagSafe charging to be similar to the M1 lineup but sees a major increase in graphics performance thanks to new M2.

He cites an example of the M2 MacBook Air being 35 percent faster in graphics performance than the M1, and that's just a standard variant of the M2 chipset.
