The rumored "14-inch MacBook Pro" could be a redesigned máy tính xách tay that borrows its design from the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The transition khổng lồ Apple Silinhỏ eliminated the high-over 13-inch MacBook phiên bản Pro, but this new mã sản phẩm might replace that.
Apple did not change the external design of the 13-inch MacBook Pro when it added theM1processor. In fact, Apple changed almost nothing at all. This means that a significant rethiết kế to the máy tính xách tay is still possible within 2021.
The baseline 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro is an entry model and is priced as such. A new "14-inch MacBook Pro" would act as a replacement for the mid-tier MacBook phiên bản Pro that previously held better Hãng Intel processors and had fourThunderbolt 3ports.
Apple is expected lớn finish rolling out its Apple Silicon based Macs sometime in 2022 leaving the door open for updates to its existing models. The updated Apple MacBook phiên bản Pro lineup could launch alongside a new colorful MacBook Air line in the fall of 2022.
Rumors about Apple"s unreleased products continually churn, and while they aren"t always on the mark, the consensus often provides some insight into lớn what"s next. A new và bigger display, a squared-off frame design, more Thunderbolt ports, & a new "second-tier" M-series processor are all possible with this rekiến thiết.
Apple"s custom processors have sầu powerediPhoneandiPadfor years, và now they are being used in the Mac.The late 2020 13-inch Apple MacBook phiên bản Pro uses the Apple-madeM1chip, which improves performance over the 10th-generation Intel chips in the early 2020 equivalents. The version of the M1 in the new Apple MacBook phiên bản Pro has an eight-core CPU & an eight-core GPU. Apple says the new notebook is up to 2.8x faster with 5x faster graphics than its early 20trăng tròn counterpart.
The "14-inch MacBook Pro" would likely include either a higher-powered "M1X" chip or new Apple Silicon like an "M2" updated for 2021.
A predictive sầu benchmark for the "M1X" chip said it may have a 12-core CPU và a 16-core GPU. It could feature 256 execution units, rather than the M1"s 128, & may be able lớn two external displays instead of just one.
After years of the butterfly keyboard"sincreased failure ratesand reported stickiness & repeating keys, Apple finally found a suitable replacement in the 20đôi mươi MacBook updates. TheMagic Keyboarduses a new scissor-switch mechanism, which has 1milimet of travel & appears to be more resilient than its predecessor.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro finally received this new keyboard in its early 20trăng tròn refresh, and Apple retained the mechanism for the late 2020 MacBook models. Apple will likely continue to use the Magic Keyboard in any future models.
As with the other MacBook Pro withcảm ứng Bar, the 14-inch mã sản phẩm is expected lớn include a physical escape key. User frustration over a digital escape key, one without tactile feedbachồng that could disappear during use, must have sầu been heard loud and clear.
Each device with a Magic Keyboard has keys that are spaced slightly further apart for better ergonomics. There is a distinctive sầu cliông chồng to the keyboard, but it is not as loud as the năm nhâm thìn butterfly mechanism.
A much-desired change lớn the arrow keys has also been applied to the Magic Keyboard. The inverted-T arrangement with half-spaced left and right arrow keys makes it much easier lớn find keys when touch typing. The up và down keys take up the space of a single key but are distinguishable by feel.
Rumors suggest that Apple is ready to unvì chưng a lot of changes made since the 2015 MacBook Pro. The return to lớn scissor switches is just the start apparently, as Apple is reportedly considering revamping or removing the cảm ứng Bar và changing the port layout again.
The cảm ứng Bar was introduced in the năm 2016 MacBook Pro with some cấp độ of controversy from vocal consumers. It replaced the function row with the promise of becoming an interactive strip of icons & controls on a per-phầm mềm basis. This promise never quite reached its potential, and Apple has seemingly ignored the công nghệ over the past fewmacOSupdates.

The company could completely rethink the Touch Bar, or just return lớn a basic row of function keys. There are few cases in Apple"s history where it attempts such a large paradigm shift in device interaction only khổng lồ abandon it within five sầu years. One other example is Apple abandoning Force cảm biến on the iPhone shortly after introducing it.
The Magic Keyboard that ships with the 24-inch iMac has Trắng keys & a Touch ID sensor. The Trắng color scheme và off-trắng bezels are expected lớn appear in other consumer-grade Macs, but Apple"s pro models should maintain their dark color scheme. Historically, Apple reserves blaông chồng bezels, blaông xã keyboards, & limited colors for its pro computers.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro gained extra inches & extra pixels. If the 13-inch Táo MacBook Pro will be upgraded to a bigger display, then a higher resolution is likely as well.
Rumors point lớn a14.1-inch Retina Display. This is the kích thước you would get from slightly extending the screen inlớn the current bezel space of the 13-inch, which provides a more immersive sầu experience without affecting the physical kích cỡ of the Apple MacBook Pro itself.
Since the other specifications of the 16-inch screen did not change, it is unlikely the 14-inch one will either. 500 nits of brightness with a P3 color gamut is still well-placed in a professional laptop.
Apple may introduce a new display công nghệ across several product lines in 2021. Mini LED is a half-step between LCD và micro LED. Most Apple products have an LCD with an LED backlight to lớn provide a basic level of local dimming. The iPhone lineup uses OLED to provide perfect blacks & each px acts as a source of light & color.
OLED is expensive sầu & difficult lớn develop for large displays like those found on Macs or iPads, so Apple is going lớn move to an improved LCD backlight called mini LED. Basically, mini LED will allow for better local dimming across the display while providing the same Retimãng cầu Display chất lượng without shifting to OLED.
The iPad Pro released in early 2021 has a mini LED backlit display và has greatly increased contrast comparable lớn the Pro Display XDR. The new screen công nghệ did increase the thickness of the 12.9-inch Máy tính bảng iPad Pro by half a millimeter, so Apple may have trouble adding it lớn the MacBook"s thin display.
The refreshed MacBook lineup is expected lớn drive mini LED use industry wide thanks to high demand. New designs combined with Apple Silinhỏ and mini LED May increase demand by as much as 20% YoY.
The microphones are likely khổng lồ get the same treatment as the other Apple laptops. Apple introduced three "studio-grade" microphones positioned about the keyboard for better capture without the need for an external mic.
The current 13-inch MacBook Pro has two or fourThunderbolt 3ports depending on the processor configuration, with the higher-specification variant having more ports. This may change with the newer Mã Sản Phẩm or could continue being limited.
Due lớn the lachạy thử Thunderbolt 3 specs, it will be able to drive displays up to lớn 6K, including thePro Display XDR. Apple could push this tư vấn up to 8K depending on how it implements the spec in the future.
A supply chain report places the release of the M-series MacBook phiên bản Pro models in the second half of 2021.
Apple will likely release the redesigned Táo MacBook Pro in 2021, according to lớn Jon Prosser. The new Model was originally expected in 20trăng tròn, but the spring và fall updates lớn the 13-inch Apple MacBook phiên bản Pro pushed that baông chồng.
The 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro starts at $1,299 and will be replaced by the new 14-inch Mã Sản Phẩm when it launches. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple Silibé chips might make future models more expensive. However, this was not the case with the first wave sầu of M1-equipped Macs.
Apple launched the first Macs with Apple Silicon, & the company will complete the transition over the next two years. As the lademo 13-inch Apple MacBook phiên bản Pro uses Apple Silinhỏ, the upcoming 14-inch mã sản phẩm will as well.
