The serious things begin for the devices Apple endowed with the future M2 chip. The agency Bloomberg reports that internal testing has begun for multiple devices and four Macs have been detected hosting third-party apps from the App Store.
This suggests that these machines are in the final stages of development, with an announcement possible in the coming months. These new products include:
- a Macbook Air M2 / J413 with a SoC with 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores
- a Mac Mini M2 / J473 with the same SoC. A J474 variant with SoC M2 Pro is also tested
- a Entry-level MacBook Pro in M2 / J493 with the same SoC as the MacBook Air
- a 14-inch MacBook Pro / J414 with M2 Pro and M2 Max chip. The SoC M2 Max includes 12 CPU cores and 38 GPU cores and the set embeds 64 GB of RAM
- a 16-inch MacBook Pro / J416 with M2 Pro and M2 Max chip with the same configuration
To this list is added a Mac Pro bearing the code J180 and equipped with the SoC M1 Ultra already present in the Mac Studio and which will close the cycle of the SoC M1.
Bloomberg reports that at least two Macs are due to launch mid-year and that the MacBook Air M2 will benefit from a major redesign with a slimmer chassis and the presence of MagSafe magnetic connectors.
The WWDC 2022 event in early June could be a good springboard for these new machines, but the resumption of the coronavirus epidemic in China could change the schedule.
