Cheaper M2 14-inch MacBook Pro Could Be On The Way

At the moment, Apple's MacBook Pro laptops consist of three models – the xiii-inch model, 14-inch model, and 16-inch models. However, the 14-inch and 16-inch models are more expensive compared to the 13-inch models as they are using the M1 Pro and Max chipsets that are more than powerful.

Yet, a tweet from leaker Dylandkt claims that Apple could potentially end upwardly replacing the xiv-inch model. The tweet claims that in the second half of 2022, Apple tree could launch a new 14-inch MacBook Pro that will feature the apply of the M2 chipset. This will be a cheaper alternative to the M1 Pro 14-inch model, and could also replace the 13-inch model in the process.

The currently available M1 MacBook Pro 13 will be replaced with a MacBook Pro xiv with an M2 chip in the 2H of 2022. It volition receive a slight price increase over the previous generation. Aslope this release time frame, nosotros volition receive the redesigned M2 MacBook (Air).

In a fashion this makes sense. There are too many MacBook Pro configurations right at present and the difference in size between the 13-inch and 14-inch models are too minor to really make a difference. We imagine that near people who cull the 13-inch over the 14-inch model is probably due to price, as opposed to size, so creating a cheaper M2 version of the 14-inch model could be a style to help Apple streamline its offerings.

It has been a little over a year since Apple introduced the M1 xiii-inch MacBook Pro, then it is most definitely due for a refresh, so the 2nd one-half of 2022 makes sense. Have this with a grain of salt, simply hopefully we'll have more details in the coming months.
