The 14- inch and 16- inch MacBook Pro might quickly be delivering with brand-new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. There was an 18- month wait in between the arrival of the M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro and their M2 replacements, however in spite of it just a year considering that the M1 Pro and M1 Max designs released, their followers might not be that away. Here’s whatever you require to understand about the upcoming release.
202214- and 16- inch MacBook Pro: Release date
A fall release forecast for the 14- and 16- inch MacBook Pro came through a July 2022 Power On newsletter from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in which he suggested that Apple is currently preparing the next round of Apple silicon updates. Gurman composed that the 14- and 16- inch MacBook Pro will be getting M2 Pro and M2 Max chip upgrades by the end of this year, although he warns that the upgrade might be postponed up until early 2023 due to “continued supply-chain difficulties.”
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo then tweeted in August that the brand-new 14- inch and 16- inch MacBook Pro will go into production in the 4th quarter, which tallies with a fall launch.
New 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro with brand-new processors will go into mass production in 4Q22 Provided TSMC’s assistance that the 3nm will contribute earnings beginning in 1H23, processors of 14″ and 16″ MacBook Pro designs might still embrace the 5nm sophisticated node.

It would be regular practice for Apple to hold a Mac occasion in October or November, so there is some expectation that the MacBook Pro upgrade might show up (along with brand-new Mac mini) at an Apple occasion in October, or a minimum of by means of an October news release.
With macOS Ventura anticipated by the end of October it looks most likely that the brand-new item launches would connect the arrival of that Mac os upgrade.
However, in an October 16 newsletter Gurman exposes that he does not anticipate a MacBook Pro release in the week of 17 October (together with brand-new iPad Pro designs). He composes that “While the brand-new MacBook Pros are on track to introduce in the future, I would not anticipate them to be launched together with the iPad Pro”, including that Apple “has actually traditionally introduced brand-new Macs in November”. On that basis we can presume that Gurman now anticipates a November release.
202214- and 16- inch MacBook Pro: Price
The existing designs are priced as follows. While there are some huge cost jumps in between the 8-core and 10- core CPU modes that numerous will be hoping Apple will close up, we do not expect any significant modifications in the U.S.– although we might see some rate increases in some parts of the world in line with inflation. Apple raised the rate of the entry-level MacBook Air by $200 or 20 percent with the M2 redesign.

If you were hoping that Apple would alter anything about the style of these 2 bigger MacBook Pro designs be prepared to be dissatisfied. The business made some big modifications in 2021, with the brand-new 14- and 16- inch size display screens and their ProMotion innovation, in addition to the elimination of the Touch Bar and the addition of the notch (all of which serve to distinguish from the 13- inch MacBook Pro).

While the beyond the MacBook Pro will look the exact same, the within will be various.
Based on the M2, and the M1-variants that Apple released in 2021, we approximate that the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips will use the following:
- M2 Pro: as much as 10- core CPU, approximately 20- core GPU, as much as 48 GB RAM
- M2 Max: as much as 10- core CPU, 40- core GPU, as much as 96 GB RAM
