Apple revitalizes the MacBook Pro models on a routine basis, and in 2022, we might see brand-new variations of the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch variations. Reports recommend a brand-new 13-inch design might come as quickly as spring at Apple's 2022 Event coming on March 8, 2022, while we have not heard much at all about a refresh of the more significant designs considering that they were simply released in October 2021.

In the meantime, this guide concentrates on the 13-inch MacBook Pro that we're anticipating seeing revitalized initially. However, it will be upgraded as we hear more about all MacBook Pro designs.

13-Inch MacBook Pro

When it debuted the first M1 Macs, Apple last revitalized the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro in November 2020. It came out along with the MacBook Air and the M1 Mac mini, and all three lines of product are due for an upgrade.

Style

Reports recommend the 13-inch MacBook Pro will see no style updates, continuing to include the same chassis with a Touch Bar, a function that has been removed from the higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch devices. Not all reports have settled on the Touch Bar; nevertheless, as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has recommended, Apple will remove it. Offered at a lower expense, the upgraded 13-inch MacBook Pro will not consist of a mini-LED display screen, nor is it anticipated to support 120Hz Promo revitalize rates. The most significant change concerning the 13-inch MacBook Pro will be the upgraded M2 chip without any style modifications.

M2 Chip

Given the launch of the M1, Apple has been dealing with a follow-up, which will most likely be called the "M2." The M2 is anticipated to have the same 8-core CPU as the M1. In addition, however, there will be speed and performance enhancements as it could be built on a smaller-sized node.

When it comes to GPU enhancements, it will have extra GPU cores. Nine and 10-core GPU choices are anticipated, up from the seven and 8-core GPU choices provided in the initial M1. As a result, the M2 will not be as effective as the M1 Pro and the M1 Max, which the M2 Pro and M2 Max will prosper.

Apple is anticipated to utilize the M2 chip in the upgraded 13-inch MacBook Pro and the 2022 MacBook Air.

16-Inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro

The 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro designs came out in November 2021, and we have not heard much about brand-new designs at this moment in time. Apple probably will not choose a style refresh since the 2021 designs had a makeover with the mini-LED display screen; however, we can depend on brand-new chips.

We do not understand what to anticipate right now; however, upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro designs will likely utilize the future M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.

Release Timelines

Reports from the Apple supply chain from both DigiTimes and a Chinese source that formerly supplied precise info on Apple's MacBook Pro designs have recommended that Apple present the 13-inch MacBook Pro at its spring occasion, which is anticipated to occur on Tuesday, March 8.

If precise, we'll be seeing the M2 chip as quickly as March, which is earlier than formerly recommended. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has stated that Apple has a brand-new 13-inch MacBook Pro in the works; however, he has not offered precise details on a release date.
