While an earlier report from DigiTimes suggested that Apple might delay the launch of mini-LED to 2022, Ming-Chi Kuo reported in July that Apple is preparing for production of the display tech for a launch in late 2021.īloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that the MacBook Pro that will be released this summer will have a MagSafe charger, an SD card slot, an HDMI port, and “more Thunderbolt ports” (the current 13-inch MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports the current Intel-based 16-inch MacBook Pro has four Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports.)Īnalyst Ming Chi-Kuo (via MacRumors) said in a research note that MagSafe will be on the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Apple already launched its first mini LED screen in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, so it’s clear Apple is already working on the tech. In March 2020, analyst Ming Chi-Kuo released a note reporting on Apple’s use of mini LEDs in new products, including the 2021 versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. And according to a tweet by previously accurate Dylandkt, the MacBook Pro branding might be removed. If Apple is using colors in its consumer-level products, it’s possible that Apple sticks with the space gray and silver options for the higher-end models, which includes the MacBook Pro. Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech reports that Apple will release a MacBook Air or reintroduction of the MacBook in color offerings and a white bezel similar to those of the new 24-inch iMac.
