Rumors have circulated that Apple will soon release their own chips and update their MacBook, potentially called MacBook Pro 2022. In addition to being faster, these updated chips will add a new security feature and will run in parallel with an Intel chip for better performance. This trend toward vertical integration is something consumers have been asking for as a way of distinguishing Apple’s products from others in its category. With no other company taking on such a challenge, Apple’s move could yield great results\u2014or maybe even bring them out of the competition entirely!\n\n\n\n

Apple’s MacBook Pro will release its own chips. With competitors moving in on their territory and creating products that are more affordable, Apple needs to make sure that they aren’t losing customers due to price.\n\n\n\n

Apple’s new touchscreens will be high resolution and have support for at least five simultaneous touch points, according to our sources. Until now, Macs have used screens with a resolution of 1600×900 or 1920×1080, but these new screens will have resolutions as high as 3840×2160 pixels. That’s four times as many pixels as Apple’s existing displays (and a lot more room on your desktop). \n\n\n\n

In fact, they’ll make Retina MacBooks look kind of fuzzy by comparison. Although Apple’s track record with the adoption of new display technologies isn’t good\u2014remember that Apple didn’t adopt HiDPI until OS X Yosemite\u2014we think it will eventually use higher-resolution displays across its product line.\n\n\n\n

It makes sense for Apple to do so since its competitors\u2014including Microsoft, Samsung, and HP\u2014already offer ultra-high-resolution touchscreens. A report from Bloomberg last year said that new MacBooks would use panels with resolutions of 4K (or 3840×2160) or higher, but that prediction didn’t come true. Now we’re hearing from a more reliable source that Apple will use high-resolution displays in future MacBooks.\n\n\n\n

MacBook Pro continues to be a category-defining product and has undergone many changes in its history. You\u2019ll find all of that on our MacBook Pro 2022 page, but here are five items from that page that will help put our other information into context: The Apple MacBook Pro 2022 is thinner than ever before, and comes with an OLED touch panel.\u00a0\n\n\n\n

Apple keeps refining its trackpad technology, first introduced on Macbook Air in 2009, as well as introducing Retina displays for portables for the first time. SSDs continue to grow and grow, which leads Apple at one point to state there is no longer any capacity left inside these laptops. Kaby Lake replaces Skylake chipsets.\n\n\n\n
