Apple MacBook Pro M1X launch may happen this year, here is what to expect

Apple did not launch the M1X MacBook Pro back at the WWDC, so now there are new rumours about when it should arrive.

Apple’s MacBook Pro for this year has been a part of the rumour mill since earlier this year. Several previous rumours hinted at the launch at WWDC earlier this month, but Apple did not think the new M1X MacBook Pro was ready for launch yet -- even though it may have hinted at plans for the launch. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said that the MacBook Pro is on track for release this year, and that the launch could take place sometime during the fall season, meaning between October and November. Gurman is still suggesting the new MacBook Pro will run a better version of the M1 chipset, probably called M1X. As such, the MacBook Pro will be the first Mac product to bring the new chipset onto the line. This year’s MacBook Pro may also bring back the HDMI port and an SD card slot, something that creators have been asking for for a long time. The MagSafe magnetic charging technology that Apple ditched previously in favour of USB-C charging is also likely to come back on the MacBook Pro. Because of these things, the MacBook Pro of 2021 is important.
