Apple has announced when it will open pre-orders for its all-new 13-inch M2-powered MacBook Pro. The device was announced at Apple's recent Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, where the company also introduced the newest generation of its in-house Mac processor — the Apple M2. Apart from the new MacBook Pro, the new chip can also be found in the latest MacBook Air, which was also unveiled at the same event. The latest MacBook Pro and MacBook Air not only share many similarities in terms of design and hardware but are also relatively similarly priced.
Despite rumors suggesting Apple might launch several new products at the WWDC, the two new MacBooks were the only pieces of hardware the company eventually unveiled at the event. However, as expected, there were a ton of announcements in terms of software as the company previewed the newest versions of many of its operating systems. Apple not only announced iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, which will be rolled out to compatible devices this fall, but also took the wraps off watchOS 9, which includes a ton of new fitness-related updates. Also new is macOS Ventura, which gets many new productivity features.
