Apple Might Launch Its M2 MacBook Pro & MacBook Air In 2022
Apple will reportedly launch two M2-powered MacBooks this year, including a MacBook Air and a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Rumors leading up to this week's 'Peek Performance' event suggested that Apple could launch a new MacBook on that day, but that didn't turn out to be the case. Instead, Apple announced the Mac Studio desktop alongside the iPhone SE (2022), a new iPad Air, and the Studio Display monitor.
The Apple M2 is expected to be the company's next-generation desktop processor that will succeed the Apple M1.
