According to the news, the new MacBook Air, which was originally scheduled to be launched in the first half of the year, will be postponed to the second half of the year.
In addition, Apple is not expected to update its MacBook Pro model this year. Meanwhile, "M2 Pro" and "M2 Max" chips are more likely to hit the market next year.
It is worth mentioning that the next generation of entry-level Mac mini, 24-inch iMac and new iPad Pro may also upgrade the M2 chip, but the release time is unknown.
Previously, there was news that the new MacBookPro will remove touchBar, equipped with a new M2 processor and castrate the screen configuration, the new MacBookPro will not be equipped with a mini-LED display, but an LCD screen, does not support 120Hz ProMotion, and has a smaller storage version to choose from.
At present, the M1 processor and the processing series derived from the M1 have covered the Macbook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, iPad Pro, Mac mini, iMac 24 inches, and the upcoming Mac Pro may also be equipped with M1U.
A reason why there will be no M2 is actually very simple, out of M2, it will cause users to feel that the M1 series has entered the replacement cycle, and the current M1 series of products should still have. The news of the past few days is not that the 13-inch MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro will be upgraded, I think, it should continue to be the M1 series, nothing more than a name change, such as M1X or M1S.
