Apple is planning to begin manufacturing of the next new MacBook Pro models during the current quarter, though sales may not start until the spring, according to reports on a research note from well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
It is expected to bring some version of its high-performance Mac chips to the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, as well as mini-LED display technology. However, a shortfall in availability for mini-LED components has reportedly delayed the new MacBook Pro production thus far this year.
A new research note from Kuo – an analyst at TF International Securities who has frequently made correct Apple predictions in the past – pinpointed the third quarter as the timeframe for mass production on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros to begin, according to reports. The third quarter began July 1 and runs through the end of September.
