The caller scope is tipped to adhere to the pursuing naming normal - MacBook with M2 processor, and MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and MacBook Pro with M2 Max. Sounds a small clunky to us, but this could conscionable beryllium a translation contented from our Chinese source.

It is suggested that the M2 Pro and M2 Max volition travel aft the M2 modular processor launch, these chips are expected successful the archetypal fractional of 2023.

Commercial Times has a mixed way grounds erstwhile it comes to the accuracy of its leaks, truthful it remains to beryllium seen if this volition beryllium true. However, the timeline matches previous reports from Bloomberg's Power On newsletter that besides suggested we tin expect a refresh successful 2022.
