Apple Mac Pro 15 Inch On Sale
Looks like all MacBook Pro variants are getting bigger.
Last year, Apple replaced its top-of-the-line, 15-inch MacBook Pro with a 16-inch model that has only a slightly bigger footprint and considerably thinner screen bezels.
According to reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), Apple's 13.3-inch MacBook Pro might get the same treatment, as the company is reportedly working on a 14.1-inch variant.
Kuo shared few details about the new laptop besides its size, but it's plausible that it will have thinner bezels and perhaps a slightly bigger footprint than the 13.3-inch model. One feature that he did share was the new laptop's mini-LED screen, which is a type of display that has the many advantages of OLED without its burn-in issues.
But that's not nearly all. Kuo said Apple is working on five other mini-LED products, including a new 16-inch MacBook Pro, a 27-inch iMac Pro, 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a 10.2-inch iPad and a 7.9-inch iPad mini. He only offered timing for the iMac Pro, which should come in the fourth quarter of 2020, and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which should come in the fall. Per previous notes, the mini-Led, 16-inch MacBook Pro should arrive in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Most of these products are logical and widely expected updates of Apple's current products, but the iPad mini is interesting for several reasons. First, if Kuo's report is accurate, this means that not only has Apple not given up on its smallest iPad, but it's also treating it with a fancy new display.
On the flip side, the 7.9-inch size indicates the new iPad mini will retain essentially the same look, which means fat bezels, Home button, and probably no Face ID, either. I've been hoping for an iPad mini with a bigger display in roughly the same body (with thinner bezels and no Home button, just like Apple's iPad Pro line) forever, but I guess there's always next time.
While Apple has updated its 13-inch MacBook Pro with a scissor keyboard and better processors, there are still rumors about a future refresh. Since the 15-inch MacBook Pro saw a screen size increase to 16 inches, it is believed that the smaller one will see a similar increase. Since the latest revision occurred in May 2020, rumors point to a potential 2021 release of this updated model.
● Announcement and release in 2021
● New 14.1-inch Retina Display
● Micro LED could be introduced
● 10th-generation Intel processors
● Magic Keyboard
Apple's smallest professional computer is nearing its inevitable update after the 16-inch MacBook Pro and 2020 MacBook Air both saw updates this past year. A new 13-inch MacBook Pro with new processors, new keyboard, and other new features released on May 4, putting into question when a 14-inch MacBook Pro could potentially launch in 2020.
14-inch MacBook Pro Potential Features
Rumors about Apple's unreleased products continually churn, but usually provide some insight into what may be released next. With the recent update to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, very little is known about what could come for the 14-inch refresh beyond the screen size update.
After years of increased failure rates and reported stickiness and repeating keys, Apple has finally found a suitable replacement for the butterfly keyboard. The new Magic Keyboard features a new scissor-switch mechanism, which has 1mm of travel and is thought to be more resilient than its predecessor.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro finally received this new keyboard in its 2020 refresh, and Apple will retain the mechanism for newer MacBook models.
As with the other Touch Bar MacBook Pro, the 14-inch model is expected to have the physical escape key. User frustration over a digital escape key, one without tactile feedback that could disappear during use, must have been heard loud and clear.
Each device with a Magic Keyboard has keys that are spaced slightly further apart for better ergonomics. There is a distinctive click to the keyboard but is not as loud as the 2016 butterfly mechanism.
A much-desired change to the arrow keys has also been applied to the Magic Keyboard. The inverted-T arrangement with half spaced left and right arrow keys makes it much easier to find keys when touch typing. The up and down keys take up the space of a single key but are distinguishable by feel.
Apple Mac Pro 13 Inch
The 16-inch MacBook Pro gained extra inches and extra pixels. If the 13-inch MacBook Pro truly will be upgraded to a bigger display, then a higher resolution is likely as well.
Rumors point to a 14.1-inch Retina Display. This is the size you would get from slightly extending the screen into the current bezel space of the 13-inch, which provides a more immersive experience without affecting the physical size of the MacBook Pro itself.
Since the other specifications of the 16-inch screen did not change, it is unlikely the 14-inch will either. 500 nits of brightness with a P3 color gamut is still well placed in a professional laptop, however.
Some rumors point to a 2020 MacBook Pro refresh with Mini LED. The 14-inch MacBook Pro that is expected in May could have such screen technology, alongside a refreshed 16-inch, but it is unlikely. Mini LED could still show up in 2021 across several Apple product updates.
The current 13-inch MacBook Pro uses 8th-generation Intel core i5 or i7 processors in the base configuration, and 10th-generation processors in the high-end configuration. The 16-inch MacBook Pro uses 9th-generation processors and has an i9 option.
Apple announced their intent to move their Mac line to Apple Silicon over the next two years, and the first models are expected by the end of 2020. The company seems to be saving its major redesigns for the major chip transition, as the new iMac updates in August show.

Apple has not said how the new Apple Silicon processors will differ, but comments from their leadership have said the Developer Transition Kit with A12Z Bionic is an example of them 'not even trying.'
The microphones are likely to get the same treatment as the other Apple laptops. Apple introduced three 'studio-grade' microphones positioned about the keyboard for better capture without the need for an external mic.
The current 13-inch MacBook Pro has two or four Thunderbolt 3 ports depending on the processor configuration, with the higher-specification variant having more ports. This may change with the newer model or could continue being limited.
Due to the latest Thunderbolt 3 specs brought by new Intel processors, it will be able to drive displays up to 6K, including the Pro Display XDR.
Regulation filings with China and Korea show that Apple is preparing a new battery for a MacBook Air sized machine. The new battery could be used in the 14-inch MacBook Pro as well.
A tweet on May 11 claimed the 14-inch MacBook Pro would not be coming until 2021, with Jon Prosser confirming the information with a '100%' in his reply.
When will Apple release the 14-inch MacBook Pro?
Apple will likely release the re-designed MacBook Pro in 2021 according to Jon Prosser. The new model was expected originally in 2020, but the spring update to the 13-inch MacBook Pro pushed that back.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,299 and will be replaced by the new 14-inch model when it launches. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple Silicon chips might make future models more expensive, however.
Will the 14-inch MacBook Pro use Intel or Apple Silicon?
Apple will be moving its entire Mac lineup to Apple Silicon over the next two years. The re-designed model will likely have Apple Silicon as a part of its new feature set.
