M1X MacBook Pro launch now tipped for Q4 2021, M1X Mac mini also expected

M1X MacBook Pro is also expected to feature a Mini-LED display and mark the return of HDMI and SD card slots.

Apple MacBook Pro may see an M1X upgrade later this year, according to a new leak. There were rumours around the launch of a new MacBook Pro, featuring a new design and a new Arm processor, at the now-over WWDC. Apple did not launch the new MacBook Pro at WWDC. However, the YouTube video for WWDC did confirm that the M1X MacBook Pro was in the pipeline. A tipster has now claimed that the impending launch of the MacBook Pro with an M1X processor may now take place sometime in the fourth quarter of 2021. According to an iOS developer who goes by Dylan on Twitter, the M1X-powered MacBook Pro has not gone up in smoke. In fact, the 2021 MacBook Pro may arrive in Q4 2021. Accompanying the M1X MacBook Pro will be the Mac mini and it will also use the improved version of the M1 chipset. The launch will take place in either October or November, according to the tipster. This is in line with Apple’s tradition of launching new MacBook models every year. While the MacBook Pro and Mac mini are seemingly coming in Q4 this year, there may be an M1X-powered iMac Pro that will not arrive, if we believe the tipster. There is nothing official -- so much as a hint through a YouTube video or the like -- about the M1X-powered MacBook Pro and Mac mini, though. Apple launches new MacBooks after its iPhone launch event sometime in October or November, but there is no clarity right now.
