The long awaited 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro’s are finally here and landing in people’s laps, as is tradition time to start up the wait for the next iteration I guess?
I’m not expecting a lot of people to be along for the wait to the successors of the M1 Pro and M1 Max MBPs, which may be good as there’s a decent chance they won’t arrive until late 2023!
The 13” M1 MacBook Pro which launched in November 2020 should be up for replacement in the coming year though, either with a direct replacement, or substituted in the lineup for one of the colourful new ‘MacBooks’. Perhaps it will also get a bump to 14.2”, similar to the recently launched model, but lacking some of the shinier bells and whistles, at a more mainstream price.
Either way it should be getting a new M2 chip, hopefully based on the A16, and with 10 GPU cores up from 8 on the M1. Further out the M2 Pro and Max chips will also make their way into the next gen 14/16” machines, maybe with Face ID and panels with a better response time to make the most of the ProMotion functionality.
