Apple is on a launch spree. The Apple M2 MacBook Air and Apple M2 MacBook Pro launch timeline have been tipped. At its recently concluded event, Apple took the wraps off the new Mac Studio and iPhone SE 5G. The Mac Studio packs an M1 Ultra chip, which is as powerful as two M1 Max chips. Now, it appears that the Cupertino-based tech giant has finished refreshing the M1 series of chipsets. Notably, the iMac Pro 2022 will come with the M1 Ultra chip.
However, Apple is reportedly working on new M2 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models as well. According to a report by 9To5Mac, the entry-level MacBook devices will draw power from the next-generation Apple Silicon. Regrettably, the report does not shed light on the launch date of the much-awaited machines. Nevertheless, the word on the street is that the Apple M2 MacBook Air, and Apple M2 MacBook Pro laptops will launch later this year.
Apple has neither confirmed nor denied this speculation, but this piece of information should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, the company is likely to divulge more vital shreds of information about the upcoming laptops in the coming days. In the meantime, let’s check out the Apple M2 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air specifications and other leaked details. First off, it is worth mentioning here that the M2 chip will be relatively more powerful than its predecessor, the M1.

Apple M2 MacBook Air, Apple M2 MacBook Pro Launch Timeline & Other Details
If past leaks are anything to go by, the newer generation M2 chip will not surpass the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips as far as efficiency numbers and power is concerned. Furthermore, Apple is likely to debut more powerful M2 chip versions like an M2 Pro to power up its laptop and desktop lineup. However, the entry-level MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air will pack the new M2 chip under the hood. Despite the lack of an official confirmation, the report reveals that the Pro laptop has model number J493.
Moreover, the MacBook Pro, which comes with a 13-inch screen, will retain the design of the existing model. Aside from that, the American tech behemoth could get rid of the “Pro” moniker for its upcoming model. In other words, Apple could be prepping to launch a new laptop dubbed the Apple MacBook. However, the MacBook Air will adopt a new design. The machine’s codename is “Stalen” and it carries model number J413. The MacBook Air will be available in multiple color options like the 24-inch iMac.
Furthermore, it is likely to come with the same 13-inch screen size with thick white bezels encompassing it. Unlike earlier MacBook models, the keyboard layout on the new machine will be white. To recall, MacBooks usually come with a black keyboard. Other important details about the laptops are likely to surface online in the coming days.
