Apple is working on nine new Macs that feature its imminent M2 processors, as per Bloomberg Mark Gurman. Many rumors came about Apple releasing the Mac Studio and its statement that the M1 Ultra will be the last chip in its existing generation lineup.
Bloomberg is not predicting the studio replacement, but it reports that most of the Mac models will get an upgradation. According to Gurman, there is evidence of an M2-powered MacBook Air with a ten core GPU in contrast to all previous predictions that a redesigning Air would still have an M1 and an entry-level M2 MacBook pro with all the exact specifications. The 14 and 16-inch MacBook also makes an appearance in addition to the new Mac Mini and Mac Pro, which are all next-generation Apple silicon.
A Mac mini with an existing generation M1 Pro also cropped up, even though it is difficult to predict whether it is good to introduce in the market with Mac Studio. The high-end machines will have M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, with the Max having 12 CPU cores and 38 graphics cores. Unfortunately, Bloomberg did not include any details about the breakdown of effectiveness and other performance cores. The M2 Pro also shows an option for Mac Mini, and Gurman predicted that the Mac Pro would have an inheritor to the M1 Ultra.
Interestingly, the initial MacBook Pro might stick around and still barely discriminated from the Air. However, it is predicted that Apple will gradually discontinue its 13-inch mode as it seems like an unnecessary medium between the Air and the 14-inch pro. It is also confused about its touch bar, and it is still in doubt whether its successor will have one of it or not.
According to Gurman, all this information came from developer logs, which showed that Apple has been testing all of its new computers by using third-party apps. While it is not hard to predict that Apple will be working on its next generation of chips, it is pretty exciting to observe evidence of their existence out in the wild and obtain all details. You will not have to wait long for an official announcement of these computers. Bloomberg reported that “a minimum two Macs” will launch towards the middle of the year. You might not know that WWDC will be on the calendar for June 6th.
