Apple could be planning to launch new MacBook Pro models with M2 Professional and M2 Max chips later currently, if a pair of fresh rumors line up as some are theorizing.
The initial leak, as MacRumors (opens in new tab) stories, is a filing that has been spotted in a Canadian databases (Industry Canada Radio Devices Listing), pertaining to an inbound MacBook Professional and its Wi-Fi 6E assist (as flagged by Wade Penner on Twitter).

This isn’t a supply we’re acquainted with, but MacRumors has dug into this and confirms that the submitting exists (but we need to continue to obviously insert a full heap of seasoning to any leak).
The second portion of this is that there has been different chatter on the grapevine – from properly-acknowledged Apple leaker Jon Prosser (opens in new tab), and other sources including MacRumors (opens in new tab) again – that Apple has a product or service reveal planned for later now.
Now, we really do not know what that product or service may be – all we’re instructed is that it’ll be a simple press release announcement by using the Apple newsroom (as opposed to any variety of start occasion).
Set this leak and rumor combination alongside one another and we get the concept that this start, if it does in fact happen afterwards currently, could properly be the MacBook Pros.
Examination: If we do see MacBook Pros, they may well be underwhelming…
It’s been extensive rumored that there’ll be MacBook Professional 14-inch and 16-inch products coming out in 2023 (basically, they ended up initially anticipated to debut late in 2022). Nevertheless, the most recent speculation we have read (previous to this latest rumor) is that these MacBook Pros won’t arrive early in 2023 as envisioned, and may possibly be pushed to Q2.
That’s not particular, by any implies – none of this is, of program – but all the past chatter points to MacBook Professionals not turning up whenever shortly, and undoubtedly not immediately.
A sighting of a submitting doesn’t automatically suggest just about anything is imminent, both. Then once more, it is a reasonable outdated clue that we never have that extensive to hold out and it’s possible Apple is scheduling a reveal now, but the on-sale date could be pushed some way down the line.
We’re not massively certain about that, nevertheless, and we could well see a different merchandise exposed today. For instance, a new Mac mini is an additional greatly anticipated prospect for staying unleashed.
If we do see the MacBook Professional 14-inch and 16-inch released to the earth through push releases, this would underline an additional thread that has been introduced by the rumor mill of late – specifically that there are hardly any adjustments to the laptops. Mark Gurman, an additional heavyweight Apple leaker, a short while ago asserted that these portables would keep the precise identical style and attributes as existing models, with the only serious improve being the M2 Pro and Max chips – and that any functionality enhance will probable be ‘marginal’, not a phrase that’ll get any individual energized.
So, if that is indeed the situation, then a minimal-critical start working with push releases would make sense. How this one particular will pan out, then, is a challenging one particular to contact, with arguments for and from a MacBook Professional look. But we really do not have extensive to wait around to come across out if an announcement definitely is forthcoming these days, and if so, what it’ll be. All eyes are on the Apple newsroom.
