Apple is set to hold its Unleashed event in a few hours. As is the case before every big Apple event, the Apple Store is down as it gets ready to be updated with new hardware. Apple’s Unleashed event will begin at 10.30 pm IST.
What to expect from Apple Unleashed event
Rumours suggest that there will be a 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro unveiled at the event. Currently, Apple has 16-inch and 13-inch models in its MacBook Pro line up. The redesign of the MacBook Pro line up may see the addition of the HDMI ports and an SD card reader. Currently, Apple only gives Type-C port in the MacBook Pro. However, the new MacBook Pro models are expected to get new ports along with the Type-C ones. Apple is also expected to ditch the TouchBar from the new MacBook Pro.
The upcoming MacBook Pro is expected to have mini-LED displays that may offer up to 120Hz of refresh rate. Further, the webcam is also expected to have 1080p webcams, which will be upgraded on the current 720p. Apple is also expected to bring back MagSafe charging in favour of the Type-C currently found in MacBook. It is also expected that Apple could make the charger smaller in size but it’s not known how many watts it will support.
Last year in November, Apple launched its own silicone-based processor called M1. This year it has been suggested that its successor — rumoured to be called M1X — will arrive.
Currently, the M1 processor comes with maximum 16GB of RAM. Previous generation Intel-powered MacBooks went up to 32GB of RAM. Rumours suggest that the M1X processor could offer support of up to 64GB RAM. If true then it will be quite a quantum leap for MacBook Pro.
MacBooks are supposed to be the centre of attraction but rumours are swirling about the arrival of new AirPods. The AirPods 3 — rumoured name — could also see a design overhaul.
