According to a usually reliable Apple analyst, we will finally see the MacBook Pro with a mini LED screen later this year. This feature will also be coming to the popular MacBook Air next year.
New MacBook Pro with mini LED screen
Rumors of a new MacBook Pro with a mini LED screen have been circulating for a while, and now Ming-Chi Kuo is making a splash. This well-known Apple analyst, who often has reliable information, confirms previous reports about the Pro MacBook. This reports 9to5Mac. A new version, with a mini LED screen, should actually appear later this year.
The cheaper MacBook Air will also get a mini LED display, but only later. Kuo talks about an announcement ‘sometime in 2022’, so we have to wait a little longer for the laptop. This also corresponds to rumors, which stated that the Air will only receive an upgrade next year that adds a mini LED screen.
Mini LED is a screen technology that was first introduced on the iPad Pro 2021. The screen type has several advantages: mini-LED offers a very high contrast and allows displays to be made very thin. This is important for Apple, because the company prefers to make its devices as slim as possible. Finally, mini-LED is energy efficient, which is good for the battery life of MacBooks.
Also to smaller iPad Pro
Kuo also reports that the 11-inch iPad Pro will be equipped with a mini LED screen next year. At the moment, only the larger (and more expensive) 12.9-inch version has this innovative display. Apple could have more suppliers of mini LED displays next year, allowing the feature to be added to more devices.
