The third-quarter release date is roughly inline with expectations. Apple leaker Jon Prosser has said that the new MacBook Pro will be announced at WWDC next week.

 they will also feature a new external chassis design.

mini-LED displays enable higher contrast and brightness than standard LED-backlit LCD panels, approaching OLED-quality when watching HDR content like TV shows and movies. However, the display technology inherently exhibits a backlight bloom effect in certain conditions, which some users find distracting.

These machines are believed to feature higher performance Apple silicon than the current generation M1 chip. Colloquially referred to as ‘M1X’

Bloomberg reported the MacBook Pro chip would feature 8 high-performance CPU cores, up to 32 GPU cores, and support up to 64 GB RAM.

My thoughts

 This is very exciting news, I think the mini-LED is awesome(based on reviews I saw), the blacks are incredible, and also it prevents burn-in, which is a major concern with using OLED. Although Apple reportedly will use OLED for their iPad lineup next year according to some reports.

I would doubt that they'll move to OLED now that they have mini-LED and it's already been implemented in the Pro Display XDR and Liquid Retina XDR displays.

 

I gather they are likely to create segmentation using mini-LED displays and leave entry devices on their current excellent IPS technology.

Apple continues to give me a reason to wait for the next gen macbook, this sounds very good

How does Mini-LED power consumption compare to their current tech? If they can widen the battery life gap even further it would be an awesome selling point.

Heeeey good that i did not get myself a M1 for work yet then, guess we will have to wait to atleast over the summer and see what shows up. Cause the battery life alone is worth it for me.
