Apple M1X MacBook Pro was expected to launch at the WWDC 2021 Apple event. The company also accidentally confirmed the existence of an M1X MacBook Pro via the tags section of its WWDC 2021 keynote. While the official Apple M1X MacBook Pro launch date remains unknown, a new report claims that the company will unveil the laptop in September 2021.
Apple’s new MacBook Pro is tipped to feature a mini-LED display found on the M1 iPad 12.9-inch. According to MacRumors, citing DigiTimes, the iPhone 12 maker has asked suppliers to ramp up the production of its mini-LED display panels for the MacBook. The report further states that Apple will announce the MacBook Pro with a mini-LED display in September 2021. However, the company will start shipping the Pro laptop in October.
The September Apple event is typically for the iPhone launch. This year, Apple is expected to host the iPhone 13 launch event in September. The company is also rumoured to announce the new Apple Watch Series 7 at the event.
Rumours are rife that the upcoming MacBook Pro will come in 14-inch and 16-inch display sizes. Both variants will have a mini-LED display, which was first introduced on the 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
The two variants are expected to come with a more powerful version of the M1 chip called M1X or even possibly the M2 chip. The two chips will feature eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores. The main difference will lie in the GPU department. Both models will feature 16 or 32 GPU cores. The upcoming Apple Silicon will also support up to 64GB of RAM as opposed to 16GB on the current M1 chip.
Other details suggest that the new MacBook Pro model will have more ports. The right side of the MacBook Pro will have an HDMI port and an SD card reader slot. It will have three USB Type-C ports as opposed to four on the current generation. Two out of the three Type-C ports will be placed on the left edge. MagSafe is likely to make a comeback on the MacBook, with the slot located on the left side of the machine.
