Apple suppliers are rumored to be preparing new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. Mass production of these upcoming laptops, which are expected to have a new 5nm chipset, will begin in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, according to research, shipments of MacBook Pro laptops that are now on sale have already begun to decline. But among the six other PC brands in 2022, Apple may still be experiencing the smallest drop. In addition, the report confirms that since the recent unveiling of the second generation model, Apple suppliers have begun to reduce production of the first generation Apple AirPods Pro.
Intensify the new MacBook Pro laptops
Production of current MacBook Pro models by Apple suppliers has been slowed to make way for the next generation of 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro computers, according to Digitimes, citing industry sources. According to reports, shipments of current MacBook Pro models are expected to remain the same or increase slightly in 2021. According to estimates, Apple may only experience a 1.4 percent annual decline in the PC market.
As a result, shipments of well-known brands of personal computers may drop significantly. Acer may see a decline of 33.2%, while Lenovo, Dell, HP and Lenovo may see annual declines of 9.2%, 14.7%, 18% and 22.6%, respectively. The rumored MacBook Pro models are expected to enter mass production by the fourth quarter of 2022 and will definitely use 5nm processors, which could mean that these laptops may include an updated version of the M2 Chip that supports the current generation of MacBook Pro.
Moreover, according to a Digitimes report, Apple suppliers may take similar measures by slowing down the manufacturing of the original AirPods Pro TWS headphones in preparation for the new Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) will be available for purchase in India from 23rd September after it was recently introduced at a ‘Far Out’ event.
