Apple is rumored to be working on new MacBooks Pro that take advantage of a new display technology known as mini-LEDs.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The iPhone maker previously updated its 13.3-inch MacBook Air and 13.3 inch pro in the spring, giving each machine newly designed keyboards and, in some cases, updated Intel processors. While most of these new machines now run on tenth-generation Intel chips, the cheaper, entry-level MacBook Pros have been kept on older eighth-generation hardware.

Beyond the new MacBooks, Apple has also been rumored to be preparing a new iMac it potentially runs on new Apple-designed chips. Developers looking to prepare their applications for the transition have been able to sort Mac Mini based developer kits running MacOS on one of the company’s A12Z chips.

Announced at his WWDC developer conference last month, CEO Tim Cook said during the virtual presentation that Apple’s move from Intel is expected to take “approximately two years,” adding that the company plans to ship its first system with a processor designed by Apple “at the end of this year”.

Despite the transition, Intel-based Macs will continue to be supported, with Cook promising new versions of MacOS for these computers “for years to come” and adding that Apple has “some new Intel-based Macs on the list of which we are really excited.”
