Apple may launch smaller M2-powered MacBook Pro next month

The next hardware-focused Apple event may be just a few weeks away. We expect the company to launch the new product on March 8. These devices may include the iPhone SE 3rd generation and the new iPad Air. While it's unclear exactly what the company will reveal at the virtual event, a new leak suggests a smaller M2-powered MacBook Pro may be on the list. This information was provided by a reliable source with close ties to Apple's supply chain. They were also behind last year's MacBook Pro leaks, so there's a good chance they're right this time, too.

Apple may launch a 13-inch MacBook Pro during its spring event next month. This new model could retain the design of the current M1-powered 13-inch MacBook Pro. The company released 14-inch and 16-inch models late last year, supercharged by the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. By not discontinuing the familiar 13-inch model, the company can attract more customers who aren't interested in a larger MacBook.

The report mentions that this new M2 MacBook Pro may still include the Touch Bar that Apple removed from the larger model. It's also expected to lack a notch and ProMotion technology. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman believes Apple may also remove the Touch Bar. However, he agreed it would lack ProMotion technology. Which of the two leakers is correct remains unknown.

We expect both the iPhone SE 3rd generation and the new iPad Air models to support 5G networks and feature the A15 chip. Previous rumors suggested we might see at least one new Mac at the event. We'll know in a few weeks whether the company releases one or more.
