The new MacBook Air is destined to be the product’s biggest redesign in its history, adding a thinner frame and MagSafe charging.

The new MacBook Air, low-end MacBook Pro and new Mac mini are scheduled to debut as early as this year, with at least two Macs planned for launch around the middle of the year, Bloomberg has previously reported. The company has tested an M1 Max version of the Mac mini as well, but the new Mac Studio may make these machines redundant. This machine will include a successor to the M1 Ultra chip used in the Mac Studio computer.Īpple is also testing a Mac mini with an M1 Pro chip, the same processor used in the entry-level 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros today. The 16-inch MacBook Pro’s M2 Max will have the same specifications as the 14-inch MacBook Pro version.Ī Mac Pro, codenamed J180.
