While the new generation MacBook Pros arrived on the market in November 2020, bringing with them Apple's brand new chip: M1, the Apple brand continues its transition to Apple Silicon. Since then, it has integrated its M1 chip into several models: the MacBook Air and Mac Mini from November, then the iMac in the spring. If other models like the Mac Pro have not yet been offered to the public with the M1 chip, this development should not take much time, Apple having promised to complete the transition to Apple Silicon in less than 2 years.
But the changes on the Cupertino company's computers do not only concern their chips.According to new information from DigiTimesthe screens of the next MacBook Pros should benefit from new technology:the Mini-LED. Already integrated onthe iPads presented last March by Apple, this screen technology should gradually replace current screens, offering better image quality, with better contrasts according to Apple's own words at the brand's "Spring Loaded" conference.
Mini-LED to end the year 2021
DigiTimes in fact assures that the Mini-LED screens which will be present on future MacBook Pros will arrive in the third quarter of the year, according to information from its sources within the Apple supply chain. It is the company Global Lighting Technologies which should provide the bulk of production for Apple, which could therefore offer a new MacBook Pro at the end of 2021.Information that Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the best analysts of the Apple brand, had already confirmed a few months ago.
According to his predictions, Apple should initiate a real transition of its screens gradually moving all its models to Mini-LED. After the iPad, it would therefore be the MacBook Pro which will be entitled to this new screen. According to Kuo, Apple's long-term idea would be to use Mini-LED technology on iPhones. The Cupertino company would thus test Mini-LED technology on its iPad Pro and MacBook Pro before switching to its most popular product: the iPhone.
