Apple is also preparing to launch an iMac Pro with an Apple Silicon processor next, and is also expected to launch a new HomePod product.
With the success of the Apple Silicon processor used in Mac models, it seems likely that Apple will launch a 12-inch MacBook again, in order to lock in the demand for lighter, high-endurance laptops.
Bloomberg News reporter Mark Gurman said a few days ago that Apple plans to launch a new 12-inch laptop in 2024, which means that the 12-inch laptop known as MacBook in the past will be launched again.
Compared with the Intel ultra-low voltage processor used in the past, although it can be applied to a thinner and lighter body and can be used for a longer time, it also sacrifices the overall computing performance.
However, the Apple Silicon processor designed with the Arm architecture has been well received in the new MacBook Pro and Macbook Air, and at the same time, it can maintain a better user experience in terms of computing performance and battery life. Apple may indeed use the Apple Silicon processor in the future. It is designed on the MacBook body to attack the needs of thinner and lighter notebooks.
