today we have the latest on the new apple macbook pro 16 inch release date and price
that i want to share with you on top make sure you stick around because i have some
exciting new details about the design the new ports on the macbook and also more details on
how powerful the apple silicon processor the m1x will be for the 16 inch macbook pro 2021 model
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 chips inside currently we have the
new macbook pro the macbook air and the new mac mini with the m1 chipset inside them apple said
in 2020 that there would be a two-year transition of moving all of its macs over to its own chipsets
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 model today i want to focus more on that macbook pro 16 inch
model so let's start with the latest leak and that is on the design of the 16 inch macbook pro
so the leak tells us that a redesigned macbook pro could see apple bring back the much love magsafe
charger and also ditched the controversial touch bar at the same time the news comes
from a longtime apple analyst minshiku by mac rumors who has been super accurate with leaks
and collaborated by bloomberg's mark german's tweet shown here as well some of these concepts
that i'm showing to you is based on these design changes all these changes are big news and not
just because the macbook pros design has stayed the same since the launch of the touch bar in 2016
even though the imac has been nine years having the same design since 2012 but that is a
completely different story but magsay for example was one of the macbook's better selling points but
it vanished when apple switched over to usb c port on the new type of macbooks 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 qr wireless charging rather than the breakaway power cables of the old macbooks that
use a magnet and four pins to charge the actual 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 some 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 what i'm using right now i could go back to physical
buttons if i had to however one feature i do like and that is for example predictive tests like an
iphone above the actual keyboard and i'd admit i would actually probably miss this feature there
are also other changes ku talks about as well and he also believes there will be a wider range
of ports to reduce the need of so many dongles needed to be connected to the actual macbooks
to me personally how i think it will look minus the magsafe port we will get an additional two
times usb a ports in other words the normal usb port design with usb 3.2 technology that allows
up to 20 gigabits per second or transfers of up to 2.4 gigabytes per second then i also believe we'd
get hdmi port with hdmi 2.1 technology allowing 8k videos at 120 hertz or 120 frames per second
refresh rate but i also think we will get the classic sd card back and also as well will get
the retention of the 3.5 headphone jack and also just like the current macbooks we will keep some
of those usbc ports and i think we'll get two of them that will be using thunderbolt for technology
just like we're getting right now with the m1 macbooks and the mac mini so for release date from
coo and german we're looking towards the second half of 2021 around september and october time it
is most likely we'll see updates to the ipad pro and the ipad mini soon in the first half of 2021
before the max but do check out my ipad videos on my channel for more information about those ipads
for price wise we expect the current bottom end of the 16 inch i7 macbook pro with 16 gigabytes
of ram and standard graphics to be the base price for the new m1x macbook pro 16-inch so
this comes in currently at 2399 dollars so then for the actual specs of the 16-inch macbook pro
there are two possibility routes that apple could take with their top-line macbook pro
the first option is looking more likely than the second we have seen lots of new leaks and also
lots of other bits and pieces that will be getting an m1x chipset a leak here from leaks
apple pro shows that the m1x will have a total of 12 cpu cores there will be a total of eight
performance cores and four high efficiency cores that will be coming to the 16 inch macbook pro
basically what we're getting is an increase of four more extra cores
on those performance cores what we got in the m1 there were four eco cores and there were four
high performance cores so it's just a doubling up of those performance cores
personally based on apple's history of creating an x chipset based on a chipset that already exists
it means that we're likely to get around about a 40 increase in speed take a look at the comparison
that we have here we have the a12 chipset and the a12x chipset what's inside the ipad pro
now if you have a comparison here you can see the a12x is around about 40 percent more faster than
the standard a12 chip like we get in the iphone xs models the iphone xr and also the newest ipad 8th
generation so you can see there is a big jump in speed now we believe this is exactly what's going
to happen with the m1x compared to the m1 so i'll say it again expect an increase of 40 percent more
power compared to the current m1 chipset that we have right now what is still super powerful
now that leak is also missing one important piece of info and that is about the graphics
now apple were not wrong in saying that the current m1 had one of the best integrated gpus
inside a notebook or a laptop however compared to a dedicated gpu so a dedicated graphics card it's
only about the power of an nvidia 1050 ti what is on the budget less powerful side of a graphics
card that came out from nvidia in yup you heard me right that was five years ago 2016 and it was also
the budget graphics card from then so this mean apple really needs to pull something out of the
bag to gain far higher graphics power than what is currently in the m1 at the moment or even what's
in currently in the 2019 16 inch macbook pro right now this is something we'll have to listen out
more for over the next few months however there is an alternative option that apple could also do
right now the 16-inch macbook pro currently does have two graphic chips inside it one is
an integrated intel chip and the other is an amd 5000 m series graphics card the amd graphics card
only kicks in when high intensive graphics demanding tasks are needed
but for the most part when you're actually just for example browsing the web or just you know
streaming videos for example you're actually using the dedicated intel graphics chip inside
it a similar setup could happen with the m1x chipset and a dedicated graphics card from amd
we'll use the m1x inside the macbook pro for the most part and we'll be reliant on the m1x graphics
to you know do all that work browsing the web watching videos and looking at pictures and
whatever but then when we're actually doing pro tasks so this is for example exporting videos
or you know fiddling around with photos with raw photos for example then the macbook pro
would switch over to the amd dedicated graphics cards so you're probably wondering at this point
well what graphics card will amd and apple most likely put inside this new 16-inch macbook pro
well we believe it will probably be a mobile chip version of the big navi amd graphics card that
was announced at the end of 2020 the new big navi desktop graphics card run at around 16 teraflops
so it's believed that the mobile version of this graphics card could probably run around about
8 to 10 teraflops so to put this into perspective the m1 chipset graphics runs at 2.5 teraflops
and the current amd 5600m graphics card that you find right now in the current 16-inch macbook pros
with an intel processor run at 5.3 teraflops so combining a 2.5 teraflops integrated graphics
card on the m1x combined with an amd dedicated graphics card running at 10 teraflops you're gonna
get some absolutely incredible power coming out of your macbook now one other note to add here is
apple love to claim how efficient and how great battery life is inside the macbooks as the m1
is very power efficient and for most of tasks or everyday tasks that we use them for then it is
super super efficient that we are getting massive battery gains compared to the intel chipsets that
we had before now it seems likely that as the 16 inch macbook pro is actually a bigger model
we will have a slightly bigger battery inside it yes the chipset will be slightly more powerful
but remember we have got those efficiency cores what will be based on the same architecture as m1
so we believe we'll probably get a battery life if you squeezed it out so this is just
web browsing if it's for streaming and things like this you could get 22 hours of doing light
tasks on your macbook pro 16-inch was absolutely incredible however when you do do those pro tasks
and you really do have to you know do 8k video or raw photo editing then that battery life
would reduce quite a bit i must admit so just also a quick recap of when to expect new macs
over the next year or so so following the mac mini the macbook air and the 13 inch macbook pro
lika ming-chi ku believes the next max again and apple silicon processor will be the macbook pro
16-inch and with that will be the rumored 14-inch macbook pro in addition to the new processor this
14 inch model will gain a completely new form factor design according to coo those macs are
likely though to be updated until mid 2021 though coup also suggests that these new macbook pro
models won't ship until the late second quarter of 2021 or the third quarter of 2021. if you're
wondering where the mac desktops figure up in this lineup coo has made no announcement relating to
apple's plan to transition desktop macs such as the imac with the imax just being updated with
newer intel processors in august time it does not seem likely we'll get an update to those macs for
quite a while so it seems likely the imac won't see apple silicon processors until late 2021.
coup is usually accurate though he said back in march 2020 before apple announced a transition
from intel that the new armbase max could arrive before the end of 2020 and he was right so are you
excited about the new silicon 16-inch macbook pro and will you be getting one soon after launch or
will you get another m1 macbook let me know what model you plan to buy well guys that
is the latest and greatest info we have on the 16-inch macbook pro silicon line at this stage
