Apple is rumoured to be preparing the release of a MacBook Ultra,\nwhich is expected to be the highest-tier variant of the MacBook Pro\nfeaturing an OLED display. However, new reports reveal that this new\ndesign will not remain exclusive to high-end models for long.<\/p>\n
According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, as reported by Macrumors, the\nMacBook Ultra\u2019s design may reach much cheaper Mac models approximately\none year after its initial launch. Apple is reportedly planning to\nupdate every Mac in its lineup over the next two years. The report\nindicates that a lower-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, codenamed K104, is\nslated for release in 2027 and will likely adopt the high-end chassis\ndesign while utilising a standard M7 chip.<\/p>\n
In terms of design, the last major redesign of the MacBook Pro\noccurred in 2021 alongside the introduction of the M1 Pro and M1 Max\nchips. That redesign saw the MacBook Pro become heavier and thicker,\nreintroducing the HDMI port and SD card slot. Apple\u2019s upcoming direction\nfor 2027 appears to move towards making laptops thinner and lighter once\nagain. The chassis is expected to be significantly slimmer, and the\ncompany is likely to replace mini-LED backlighting with a hybrid OLED\narrangement.<\/p>\n
There is currently no indication that Apple will sacrifice\nconnectivity ports, as previous attempts to do so proved inefficient for\nusers. The most significant changes may occur on the front of the\ndevice, where the notch is expected to disappear, replaced by a smaller\npunch-hole camera. This camera cutout may feature a pill-shaped design,\nenabling an interactive \u2018Dynamic Island\u2019 feature similar to the\niPhone.<\/p>\n
While exact dimensions are unconfirmed, industry research firm Omdia\nclaims that Samsung Display will supply 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch panels\nfor Apple, slightly larger than the current 14.2-inch and 16.2-inch\nmodels. Apple is also reportedly working on reinforced hinges to prevent\nscreen wobble, though it remains unclear if this will result in external\nvisual changes. Gurman describes the approach to the tactile experience\nas \u2018touch-friendly, but not touch-centric.\u2019<\/p>\n
Furthermore, there is no certainty regarding the future naming\nconventions for high-end MacBook Pro models. The new \u2018MacBook Ultra\u2019\nname may either replace the current high-end MacBook Pro models equipped\nwith M5 Pro and M5 Max chips or exist as a new, even higher tier above\nthem.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/new-macbook-ultra-design-will-not-remain-exclusive-for-long-1785513802", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
