Report: Apple To Unveil Upgraded MacBook Pro Models Featuring Enhanced Displays
Following the launch of its latest iPhone 15 series and new smartwatches, Apple plans to release new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with more powerful mini-LED displays.
“In the fourth quarter of 2023, Apple is expected to ship new models of 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro devices with a miniLED backlight that can increase the brightness of the screen by 10 percent compared to the first-generation specifications,” sources close to DigiTimes. said.
According to the report, the Cupertino-based tech giant hasn’t made any major changes to the miniLED backlight since it was introduced to its tablets and laptops. According to DigiTimes sources, the upcoming MacBook Pro devices will have miniLEDs that are 10 percent brighter than the previous ones without changing the number of miniLED chips in the backlight module.
The sources also said that deliveries of the new equipment will begin in the last quarter of 2023. However, MacRumors said DigiTimes’ latest supply chain report has good reason to doubt the timing of the release.
Apple updated the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in January, and most rumors point to updated models coming next year. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the next version of the two machines is expected to feature the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips, and will “probably” launch no later than mid-2024.
Similarly, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that new MacBook Pro models with updated 3nm M3 Pro and M3 Max chips will be released in 2024.
According to MacRumors, DigiTimes sources often provide reliable information, but the site has conflicting information regarding the interpretation of this information and the exact interpretation of Apple’s plans.
Meanwhile, another report also revealed that the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are not expected to be updated with OLED display technology until 2026, according to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants. vendors are focusing on OLED screens for tablets such as the iPad Pro.
