Apple’s 2 New Macbooks Are Reported To Set Sail In 2nd Half Of 2021

Its been reported that the tech giant bit off Apple as a logo, pushed manufacturing of their two shiny new  MacBook Pro models, powered by Apple Silicon to the second half of 2021. Thus confirming predictions and rumours fogging 14- and 16-inch models. 

The corporate giant previously chalked out to set in motion the mass production of the two unspecified MacBooks in May or June as Nikkei Asia reports in an English version of a piece about iPhone 12 mini production, originally sniffed out by Nikkei on Wednesday.

While the beans of an exact schedule were not spilt, a nudge into the more hopeful part of the year checks out with expectations fumed by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and other insiders.

In a report centring on Apple’s cutting off of iPhone 12 orders from suppliers, the publication duly noted that Apple has rescheduled mass production of the two new MacBooks from May or June until the latter part of the year. 

Although the notebooks being referred to as “MacBooks,” in the report,  it is more probable that this is referring to the expected new MacBook Pro models.

In the meanwhile, Apple has rescheduled its mass production plans of its two new Macbooks in the latter half of the year. The current schedule is different from the previous schedule of May or June, Nikkei has learned.

What’s In Store In July For Apple Lovers?

The better half of the year officially starts in July, so there should still be enough time for Apple’s suppliers to amp up their productions for a launch later in the year.

According to Kuo, the two brand new  MacBook Pros will enjoy some mini LED screens, a chassis overhaul. If we talk about casing design, the new models have abandoned the curvy style which was seen in the older models top and bottom parts and have adopted a flat-edged form factor design which is not very different from the ‌iPhone 12‌. 

The come-back of much loved MagSafe charging technology is expected. Also coming back to the stage are expanded I/O options including an HDMI port and an SD card reader, while the very unpopular Touch Bar will be swapped with physical function keys. USB C ports will probably be the only type supported by the MacBooks. 

The expected MacBook Pro models will use a similar heat pipe design used by the current 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which Kuo declares as a much prevailing option than the current 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air because it will result in enhanced computing prowess. 

Thanks to the overhauled design and surging replacement demands in the wind, Kuo expects total MacBook shipments would bolster significantly by at least 25 to 30 per cent this year over  last year to approx. 20 million units.

Many of Kuo’s educated predictions were aired by Bloomberg someday among the freshest 30  of this pandemic carrying year. 

All though tech gurus predict that Apple is wound up for the introduction of 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro in 2021.

What we learned is that both of these laptops are most probably going to be coming with Apple Silicon chips — anticipating second-generation “M1X” or “M2” designs that build on the M1. 

Kuo expects a launch in the 2021 third quarter, while others are under the assumption of the debut date being sometime much later in 2021.

While all we, the rest of the population, can do is to wait patiently and expect something good to come out from 2021 and if it’s a breakthrough in MacBooks, we won’t be complaining.

The timer and countdown tools are very handy for a lot of content creators who show their talents through Reels.

You can set a timer to record a clip without using your hands, this makes it easy for dancers to record their sequences. 

The hassle of managing the shutter button is not a problem anymore if you use this feature. The speed of the clips can be manipulated so that your audio and video are in sync.

Making slow-motion videos or an accelerated video are two things you can do with this incredible feature.

This update is a clear sign from Facebook about the seriousness they have for the Indian market. They want to develop the Reels platform as the next big thing that people use daily.

The exposure that content creators will gain from this move will be humongous and this, in turn, will attract more people to use the Reels feature. Facebook is being relentless and wants to completely take over the short video audience in India.
