When are M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros coming?
Mark Gurman at Bloomberg set the expectations after the iPhone 14 event that Apple was unlikely to hold a second fall event in 2022.
Instead, Apple could simply brief select members of the tech media on the new machines and put out a press release. That’s partly because the big upgrade to these Macs is largely just beefier versions in terms of performance.
Apple later signaled that their holiday lineup was set for the year. Nevertheless, we’ve continued to see more and more evidence that unreleased Macs will soon become released Macs.
2022 MacBook Pro colors?
Expecting space gray and silver MacBook Pro colors again is the safe bet. Something new has happened since the last round of MacBook Pros, though. In June, Apple made a darker aluminum finish called midnight. The MacBook Air is the only machine to sport this blackish-blue shade of metal so far.
If the MacBook Pro came in the new color, it would both look newer and be the first midnight notebook with an all-black keyboard. While many still await an all-black MacBook Pro, this would be a great alternative to silver and space gray.
MacBook Pro customers last year were also disappointed that the USB-C MagSafe 3 cable only came in white/silver. It color-matches the silver MacBook Pro, but it’s not a match for space gray customers. Apple has since released color-matching USB-C to MagSafe 3 cables for space gray, starlight, and midnight. Surely, Apple will bundle the space gray version with space gray MacBook Pros with this revision.
The M2 iPad Pro update, however, does not include Midnight. This doesn’t bode well for a Midnight MacBook Pro.
