so today i have some exciting news for the macbook pro 14 inch release date and price
we also have some really exciting news about the new apple silicon processor
the m1x chipset and what it means in
performance
so if you want to hear the latest gaming news tech news reviews and comparisons hit that subscribe
button followed by the bell so in 2021 i believe we're going to see loads of new macs with new
designs and greater apple silicon chipsets inside currently we have the new macbook pro macbook air
and the mac mini with the m1 chipset apple said in 2020 there would be a two-year transition of
moving all of its macs over to its own chipset and this includes all the imacs the mac pro and
the newly designed macbook pro 14 inch and also a newly designed macbook pro 16-inch today i want
to focus more on that macbook pro 14-inch model so let's start with the latest league and this is on
the design of the 14-inch macbook pro so the leak tells us that a redesigned macbook pro could see
apple bring back the much-loved magsafe charger and ditch the cross the pinion touch bar at the
same time this news comes from a longtime apple analyst minchiku via mac rumors who has been super
accurate with leaks and rumors then at the same time backed up by bloomberg's marks german's tweet
shown here as well some of these concepts that i'm showing here is the possibility of these design
changes all these changes are big news and not just because the macbook pro design has
stayed the same since the launch of the touch bar in 2016. even though the imac has been
the same design for nine years now since 2012 but that is a different story the reason why
it is big news though is magsafe was one of the macbook's better selling points but it vanished
when apple switched all the ports to usbc with the 2016 new model design that we have right now
we did get a new magsafe with the iphone 12 last year but it was a very different
technology relying on qi wireless charging rather than the breakaway power cables
of the old mac books that use a kind of a magnet and four pins to actually charge the device
the only question is how different the macbook's magsafe will be compared to the iphone 12 version
according to german it will be similar to the pill shaped design of the old magsafe connectors
and will connect to the macbook's charging port but there are other changes too according to
koo the new macbook pros will lose the touch bar and will see the return of physical keys
to me i do and i don't like the touch bar for using a 16 inch intel macbook pro i use
right now i could go back to physical buttons however one feature i do like on the touch bar
and that is predictive text like an iphone above the keyboard i'll admit i would miss this feature
the other changes cou talks about as well is that he believes there will be a wider range of ports
to reduce the number of needs of dongles to connect into your macbook pro to me personally
how i think it will look minus the magsafe port on the actual ports of the macbook pro 14 inch
we will get an additional two times usb a ports in other words the normal usb port and we'll also get
3.2 technology so usb 3.2 technology inside that and that gives you speeds up to 20 gigabits per
second or transfers of 2.4 gigabytes per second then i also believe we'd get a hdmi port again
with hdmi 2.1 technology allowing 8k videos at 120 hertz or 120 frames per second refresh rate
but i also think we would get the classic sd card port back as well
we'd also keep the retention of the 3.5 headphone jack and will also still get two times usb-c
ports with thunderbolt 4 technology just like inside the current m1 macbooks and the mac mini
so for release date from coo and german were looking towards the second half of 2021 around
september and october time it is most likely we'll see the updates to the ipad pro and the ipad mini
first in the first half of 2021 before the updates to the max but do check out my ipad videos on my
channel for more info about this for price wise we expect the current m1 13 inch macbook pro to still
be sold for some time and that the 14 inch m1x macbook pro will place the current more expensive
13-inch macbook pros with intel chipsets inside it yep if you didn't know apple still sells both the
m1 macbook pro 13-inch and also the intel 13 inch macbook pro but at a higher price we're expecting
the m1x 14 inch to be the bottom end price of the 13 inch i7 macbook pro with 16 gigabytes of ram
and 512 gigabyte ssd and you'd also get the standard m1x graphics and everything like that
inside it for the 14 inch macbook pro and this price would start at the same as 1 700 us dollars
so for the actual specs of that 14 inch macbook pro it is well known that we'll be getting an
m1x chipset a leak here from leeks apple pro shows the m1x will have a total of 12
cores there will be a total of eight performance cores and four high efficiency cores that will be
coming to the 14 inch macbook pro first personally based on apple's history of
creating an x chip of a chipset that already exists it means you'll probably get about a 90
increase in speed take a look at this a12 chipset and the a12x benchmark on an ipad pro that we have
right here we can see that from the normal a12x chipset that we're getting of 90 faster speed
than the normal a12 chip what we normally get inside like a iphone 12 xr or even the baseline
ipad you can get right now as mentioned in the past with other x chips we had
around the same amount of performance gain i'm sure the m1x will be around the same
which is like i keep saying a 40 rise in power compared to the like of the normal m1 chipset
now that leak is missing one important piece of info and that is about the actual graphics now
apple were not wrong in saying that the current m1 had one of the best integrated gpos inside a
notebook or laptop however compared to a dedicated gpu it's only about the power of an nvidia 1050
ti what is on the budget side of a less powerful graphics card that came out from nvidia in 2016.
yup you heard me right that's five years ago and the budget graphics card that came from them
so this means apple really need to pull something out of the bag to gain for far higher graphics
power than in the current m1 or even inside the current 2019 16 inch macbook pro what exists right
now it has really good graphics this is something we'll need to listen out for more over the next
few months what apple plan to do about graphics on the m1x now one other note to add here is apple
love to claim how efficient and how great battery life is inside their macbooks as the m1 is very
power efficient and most of the tasks of everyday life come from the chipset you'll be using those
lower efficiency cores on the macbook pro 14 inch so we're expecting for those kind of light tasks
you'd probably get a 22 hour battery again however you would be safe in the knowledge that if you did
used to use those more powerful cores and there's four additional cores in the m1x then basically
your battery life would be shorter but then you know your macbook pro would be up to the task
it is also likely there will be a choice again between 16 or 32 gigabytes of ram on the 14
inch macbook pro this does mean there'd be no 64 gigabyte option available and this is because the
m1x handles multitasking and also doing kind of like video editing exports and opening up multiple
apps at the same time differently to an x86 intel processor does right now so just a quick recap
of what to expect of new max over the next year or so so following the mac mini macbook air and
the 13 inch macbook pro as mentioned earlier lika minchiku believes the next max again apple silicon
processor will be the macbook pro 16 inch and that will be going along with the 14 inch macbook pro
those macs are unlikely to be updated until mid 2021 though coupe also suggests that these new
macbook pros won't ship until the second quarter of 2021 or even possibly the third quarter of 2021
just as i mentioned earlier if you're wondering where the mac desktops figure up into this line
ku has made no announcements relating to apple's plans transitioning desktop macs
such as the imac to m1 with the imax just updated with intel processors in august time
it doesn't seem likely we'll get an update on these macs for a while so it seems likely the
imac won't see an apple silicon processor inside it until around the end of 2021.
coup is usually accurate he said back in march 2024 before apple announced a transition from
intel that the new armbase map could arrive before the end of 2020 and he was definitely right so are
you excited about the new silicon 14 inch macbook pro line and will you be getting one soon after
launch let me know what model you'd like to get or what you're planning on getting in the future well
guys that is the latest and greatest we have on the 14 inch macbook pro silicon line at this stage
