Apple introduces an updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 chip
Apple didn’t just introduce a new MacBook Air at WWDC — it also unveiled an overhaul of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. The new ‘entry’ pro laptop unsurprisingly uses an M2 chip that promises improved performance and efficiency, including a hefty 20 hours of peak battery life (during video playback) and accelerated ProRes video processing. The new model isn’t a major redesign like its Air counterpart, and keeps the Touch Bar.
You can also expect “studio-quality” microphones, up to 24GB of RAM and a maximum 2TB of storage. As with its M1 predecessor, then, this isn’t a no-holds-barred workstation. You’ll need to buy a higher-tier MacBook Pro if you demand a ton of memory or drive capacity.
The MacBook Pro M2 will start at $1,299 ($1,199 for education) when it arrives in July. This system’s position in the lineup hasn’t changed, then. This is the Mac portable for users who want an active cooling for heavy workloads, but don’t need the extra power of premium machines like the 14- and 16-inch Pro models. With that said, the 13-inch machine is a tougher sell when the new Air offers similar performance, a larger screen and a MagSafe power connection for less money.

Apple redesigns the MacBook Air with a bigger screen and M2 chip
Somehow, it’s already been almost four years since Apple redesigned the MacBook Air with a Retina display. That laptop got a big performance upgrade in late 2020 as one of the first computers to ship with Apple’s M1 silicon, but lately the device has started to feel long in the tooth. As expected, Apple is refreshing the MacBook Air today with the just-announced M2 chip inside and a larger, 13.6-inch display. It also includes MagSafe for the first time in years, just like the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro that Apple released last fall. It also has two Thunderbolt ports (now you don’t have to give one up for charging) and a headphone jack.
The M2 chip comes with an 8-core CPU, up to a 10-core GPU and up to 24GB of RAM — though the base model only comes with 8GB of RAM and an 8-core GPU. And as before, Apple is promising 18 hours of battery life for the MacBook Air. The new Air has a little notch, just like the MacBook Pro, and that notch holds a 1080p webcam that Apple says has twice the resolution and twice the low-light performance of the previous MacBook Air camera. The keyboard also mimics the one on the new MacBook Pro, with a full size row of function keys.
Its design is also reminiscent of the new MacBook Pro, too, with a slightly more squared-off body — and for the first time, the MacBook Air isn’t a tapered wedge design like all the previous models. It’s still extremely thin and comes in a 2.7 pounds, just slightly less than the old model. Colors have been tweaked as well, although we’re unfortunately not getting the bright, iMac-style colors that were rumored. Instead, we’re looking at silver, space grey, “starlight” and “midnight.”
The MacBook Air is, unfortunately, more expensive than before. It starts at $1,199, $200 more than the old model. There’s no word on exactly when it’ll ship, though — they said it would ship next month. And the old M1-powered MacBook Air will stay in the lineup at $999.

Apple’s Fitness app no longer requires an Apple Watch
You won’t need an Apple Watch to access the company’s Fitness app anymore. With iOS 16, Apple is bringing the software to iPhone, the company announced during WWDC 2022. Like its watchOS counterpart, the app will allow you to set daily activity goals, with a “Move ring” there to motivate you to stay active throughout the day. Your iPhone will use its sensors to track your steps and workouts and then convert that information into an estimation of the calories you’ve burned. At any time, you can share your Move ring with friends and family to push them to achieve their activity goals too.
