It is expected that a Mac with the new Apple Silicon will be announced at this announcement event. Especially expected to be announced are the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. A number of rumors have been reported about the new MacBook Pro, and it is said that it will be equipped with the 'M1X,' which is the next-generation chip of the M1 chip. Bloomberg reports that this M1X is equipped with 10 CPU cores (8 for M1) and 16/32 cores for GPU (7/8 core for M1), and it is equipped with M1X rather than Mac with M1. The Mac can be a machine with a focus on high performance.

Other expectations include 'things that don't exist on existing MacBooks,' such as MagSafe chargers, HDMI ports, and SD card slots. In addition, overseas media The Verge points out that 'OLED touch bars may disappear.'

In addition, it is understandable that expectations for the new MacBook Pro will increase, as it has been pointed out that the stock of 16-inch MacBook Pro in the Apple Store is running low.
