Steiner, who identifies himself as a B&H Senior Manager of Web Creative Content, says B&H has previously made product listings that are “guesses based on rumors” (more on that in a bit), and that could be what’s happening here and with the…ġ3-inch MacBook Pro: Gurman says the schedule for the 13-inch MacBook Pro has been “thrown off” due to the supply crunch and will likely launch sometime in the fall. Gurman says rumors of an array of new colors are “probably exaggerated” and Kuo says the new laptop will come in “three standard color options (silver, space gray, gold), plus one new color.”Īdding more fuel to the rumor fire, a listing for a 14-inch MacBook Air with an M2 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage was discovered at B&H Photo. However, it might not come in the variety of colors we’ve been expecting. The M2 will likely update that architecture and could possibly add more GPU cores as well.MacBook Air: Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo agree that Apple is planning to launch a redesigned MacBook Air at WWDC. The M1 and all its variants use the CPU architecture from 2020’s A14, codenamed “Firestorm” for the performance cores and “Icestorm” for the efficiency cores. But we can say with some confidence that it's meant to be a new generation of Mac mini, rather than a revision of the current design- Apple uses "Macmini9,1" for the current mini, and "Macmini8,1" for the final Intel model from 2018.Īpple is expected to refresh the MacBook Air, Mac mini, and 13-inch MacBook Pro with a next-generation Apple M2 processor sometime this year. The presence of an unreleased Mac mini model identifier in a firmware file tells us little about the machine, beyond the fact that the hardware physically exists somewhere inside Apple.


Developer Steve Troughton-Smith uncovered a reference to an as-yet-unannounced "Macmini10,1" model identifier in a firmware file for the Studio Display, implying that Apple is testing a new Mac mini internally and that it could be released sooner rather than later.
