When is the updated MacBook Pro coming? It’s the question that’s on everyone’s mind. And, the recent invite Apple sent out for WWDC 2021 conference could hold the answer.

According to Jon Prosser, Apple is all set to unveil the new MacBook Pro at the event. WWDC stands for Worldwide Developer Conference and is an annual event dedicated to the Apple ecosystem developers. It’s the event where Apple walks us through its latest iteration of all operating systems — iOS 15, macOS 12, and iPad OS 15.

Though, Apple could use the stage for a hardware launch as well. Jane Manchun Wong has shared a mirrored image of the WWDC 2021 invite, and it reveals a few easter eggs embedded in the woman’s glasses. The first one is a fork and knife, followed by Apple Sleep, and finally, MacBook. The eating and sleeping icons could indicate a new feature added on watchOS, but did the MacBook mean a software upgrade or a new laptop?

 

Considering Apple’s past launches, it has unveiled hardware products at WWDC in 2009, 2012, 2013, 2017, and 2019. The past two launches happened with a two-year interval, and if the trend continues, 2021 will also be special.

Rumors and predictions state that the new MacBook Pro 16-inch could get the latest Apple M1X chip. The company could also give the MacBook Pro 13-inch a new look since it only received internal upgrades last year.

MacBook Neo already “supply constrained” amid unexpected demand

New purchases are reportedly getting delayed.

It’s been a crazy month for Apple fans on a budget. The debuts of the iPhone 17e and the MacBook Neo have brought the classic Apple experience to a wider market. Though the former is a bright spot on its own, the new MacBook Neo is currently breaking the company’s expectations as new orders are already “supply constrained.”

Last week, Tim Cook held an earnings call (via Six Colors) which includes the latest additions to Apple’s lineup. For the affordable iPhone, Cook gave a special shoutout as “the newest addition to what is already the strongest iPhone lineup we’ve ever had.” However, he was much more appreciative for the MacBook Neo’s role in the company’s notebook lineup.

Responding to a query about the new notebook, Cook says that the company “undercalled the level of enthusiasm” generated by the MacBook Neo. He also cited “tremendous enthusiasm” for the device in his main presentation.

Though he didn’t have the numbers to bolster his claims, he did give anecdotal examples of public schools switching over to Apple from Chromebooks and Windows PCs.

Finally, he says that the MacBook Neo is currently “supply constrained,” meaning new purchases will likely come with a delay before delivery.

Outside of the corporate perspective, there has been a lot of excitement for the notebook. Even if it uses the A18 Pro chip, the MacBook Neo promises a powerful notebook experience as is typical of Apple’s more traditional MacBooks. And to top it all off, it starts at only US$ 599, creating one of the most tempting offers for users who want to dip their toes into the Apple ecosystem.
