A series of consistent rumors and reports indicate that an ARM-based 12-inch MacBook and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro will be unveiled later this year. It is quite plausible that shortly after the keynote of the iPhone 12 which will be held in September to be held in September, Apple will host a second hardware event in October where it would discover the new machines. However, according to a tipster, this may not be the case.
It is possible that Apple may have delayed the new ARM-based MacBook models due to the hardware not being ready
Even though Apple mentioned during its 2020 WWDC keynote that the first ARM-based Mac would arrive later in the year, tipster Komiya mentions something else. According to sources close to this information, he states that Apple may not be hosting an event where the company will unveil the new ARM-based MacBook models, as well as other products. However, before our readers were disappointed, Komiya’s tweet could mean a number of things.
It may mean that Apple may not find a host for an event needed to officially announce the 12-inch MacBook and the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Like many products this year, the technology giant may continue with a soft launch instead. While we certainly do not agree with this decision, given that this will be a very unique series of products, Apple may have looked at the situation at hand, or more specifically, the pandemic and it might have done so. decisions.

Then again, it is possible that Apple has delayed the launch of these new products due to the hardware not being ready, which means we may see these portable Macs in early 2021. Earlier it was only mentioned that the 13-inch MacBook Pro would start production from the Q4, 2020, but there have also been several rumors about a 12-inch MacBook version, with also its usual specifications and price details.
All we can tell our readers is to treat this information first with a pinch of salt, and we’ll see if Apple actually announces the new ARM-based MacBook models or not.
