Pourquoi c'est important
Apple is reportedly planning new product releases amidst supply chain issues and the company's transition in its CEO era. Recent price increases have been substantial.
Apple reportedly has plans to release several new iPad Pros and a new MacBook Pro in the first half of next year.
The company is currently working on four models of the new tablet with faster chips, Bloomberg reported. It is also developing a new “entry-level” MacBook Pro, which is internally referred to as K104, the outlet writes. The company is also targeting that same period for the release of its first M7 processor.
The last time Apple released an iPad Pro was in October of last year. In March, the company released a new high-end MacBook Pro and also the budget laptop MacBook Neo, albeit the Neo uses the A18 chip, originally designed for the iPhone. This anticipated new MacBook is expected to be full-fledged Pro.
The apparent product plans come amidst whisperings of other upcoming releases (including, perhaps, a foldable phone) as the company preps for its post-Tim Cook-as-CEO era while also battling supply chain issues that Cook says have forced it to raise its prices. Those price hikes have been substantial in some cases. The MacBook Pro with 1 terabyte of storage recently jumped from $1,699 to $1,999, for instance. So if the company is working on more budget friendly laptops and tablets, this would be a good time to introduce them.
