Perhaps what we&#8217;ll hear about at the October 18, 2021 &#8220;Unleashed&#8221; event isn&#8217;t really a surprise.

We&#8217;re not exactly sure what the specs of these new MBPs are. However, looking at a variety of conjectures from industry analysts and &#8220;leakers&#8221; gives a pretty good idea&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Apple Silicon M1X system-on-chip with a 10-core CPU. Eight of those cores are high-performance cores, while two are energy-efficient cores. <\/li><li>16- and 32-core GPU options, and support for up to 64GB of unified memory. Base units will come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.<\/li><li>Two form factors: 14- and 16-inch, with no difference in performance between the two sizes. The displays should rock Mini-LED backlighting with ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate) and resolutions of 3024 x 1964 for the 14-inch model and 3456 x 2234 for the 16-inch. The design should be flatter, much more like an iPhone 13 with square sides. The 14-inch model should have a larger battery than the existing 13-inch MBP, while the 16-inch battery may be smaller.<\/li><li>A 1080p webcam to <em>finally<\/em> improve FaceTime calls from the MacBook Pro.<\/li><li>Slimmer bezels and no &#8220;MacBook Pro&#8221; logotype below the display.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-ports\">More Ports!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>More ports! Many analysts expect a pair of Thunderbolt ports and a MagSafe charging port on the left side. The right side should have an HDMI port, one more Thunderbolt port, and an SD-card reader. That&#8217;s one less Thunderbolt port than on a current MacBook Pro. On the other hand, functionality is handed off to the HDMI port and SD-card reader.<\/li><li>About that MagSafe charging port: it&#8217;s the same magnetic design as the old MagSafe charger, but with much faster charging speeds. The AC adapter should shrink in size as well. Some pundits think that the &#8220;Unleashed&#8221; event nickname could refer to wireless charing like that on the latest iPhones. <\/li><li>Like the OLED Touch Bar on current MacBook Pros? You may want to keep your old MBP. The new models will probably do away with the Touch Bar and replace it with full-size function keys instead. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally love the speed and size of the current M1-based MacBook Air. On the other hand, I miss the larger screen of the 16-inch MacBook Pro. That&#8217;s why I have both right now. I hope the new M1X MacBook Pro lets me consolidate to one Mac for the first time in many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen.jpg\" alt=\"AirPods\" class=\"wp-image-78174\" width=\"293\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen-208x120.jpg 208w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen-284x164.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen-190x110.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen-208x120@2x.jpg 416w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen-284x164@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AirPods_3rd_Gen-190x110@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><figcaption>3rd-generation AirPods could copy the design of AirPods Pro (image above via Apple)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-generation-airpods\">Third-generation AirPods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d expect a new generation of <strong>AirPods<\/strong> at the October event.

It shocked me that Apple chose to update the smaller form factor iMac\u2014the 24-inch model\u2014to Apple Silicon first. I don&#8217;t expect to see the 27-inch iMac in an Apple Silicon version at this event. I&#8217;ve been wrong before&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any new larger iMac would likely mirror the design cues of the 24-inch model; a totally flat design retaining the Apple-logoed &#8220;chin&#8221; beneath the display, in a variety of colors. If Apple really wanted to &#8220;Think Different&#8221;, it would make the front of a big-screen iMac nothing but display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To differentiate the 27-inch model from its little brother, Apple would need to power the new device with the M1X. I&#8217;d expect similar specs for both the iMac and MBP, provided the iMac is actually announced at this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-even-less-likely-an-m1x-mac-mini\">Even less likely: An M1X Mac mini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser.jpg\" alt=\"2021 M1X Mac mini concept\" class=\"wp-image-78177\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-214x120.jpg 214w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-284x159.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-214x120@2x.jpg 428w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-284x159@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2021_Mac_mini_Render_Ian_ZelboJon_Prosser-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>2021 M1X Mac mini concept render by <a href=\"https:\/\/rendersbyian.com\/mac-mini-with-jon-prosser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ian Zelbo <\/a>with Jon Prosser<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a real long shot for an announcement at the &#8220;Unleashed&#8221; event: an <strong>M1X Mac mini<\/strong>. There&#8217;s been a lot of wishful thinking about a faster, more powerful, and smaller M1X-powered Mac mini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any new Mac mini would most likely be equipped with a totally new chassis design, color options instead of the one-size-fits-all silver case, and more ports. The Mac mini has always been a favorite with PC-to-Mac switchers, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/66792-mac-mini-media-server-plex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media server<\/a>, and as a companion to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viewsonic.com\/us\/ifp8650-3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monster displays<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me? I&#8217;d like to see Apple pack the power of an M1X Mac mini into an Apple TV 4K-sized form factor that could be slapped onto the back of any monitor.
