Tech giant Apple has reportedly announced the most powerful Apple processors for the Mac mini and MacBook to date. Company officials claim that users can purchase Macs with either M2 Max chips or M2 Pro.
The firm makes public new 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro laptops, both of which can now come with the most recent processors.
Apple also brings an update to its Mac minicomputer, supporting M2 or M2 Pro chips. An Intel version of the Mac mini will no longer sell by the company. As per the company, Mac Pro is the last computer that came with an Intel processor.
Luca Maestri, Apple’s chief financial officer, warned in October that the company’s Mac sales are expected to decline in the quarter of December.
If sources are to be believed, consumers may feel the pressure from inflation or spend more cautiously due to fears of a probable economic downturn, which coincide with the debut of the upgraded Macs, which are being released into an uncertain economic situation for the consumer.
Later on this month, Apple is going to release a report on its results. It reported December quarter Mac revenue of USD 10.85 billion in January 2022, which was a 25 % increase year over year.
With an M2 processor, the Mac mini starts at USD 59, which is USD 100 less than the price of the previous version generation; with the M2 Pro chip, it starts at USD 1,299. The new MacBook Pro with a 14-inch display costs USD 1999.
At a minimum, the price of the 16-inch MacBook Pro model will be USD 2,499. Beginning on Jan. 24, all of these will be available; however buyers can place orders from Tuesday onwards.
