**The Upgrade Cycle: What to Expect from Apple's M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros**

As we wait for Apple's latest announcement, rumors have been circulating about the upcoming M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros. For those who are still using their 2018 Intel-based MacBook Pro or even older models, this latest iteration is a significant upgrade. The M1 Pro and M1 Max were introduced last year, but now we're expected to see an M2 Pro version that will likely offer similar specs and performance.

For those coming from the M1 MacBook Air or other devices, this new release might be exciting news. However, for current owners of the MacBook Pro, there's little to get excited about. Apple is known for its incremental upgrades, which means that the hardware, colorways, ports, and design will likely remain the same as last year's model. The biggest change might come in terms of GPU and CPU performance, with estimates suggesting a 10-20% jump on the relative basis.

One thing we are looking forward to seeing is Wi-Fi 6E, which Apple has already added to their iPad Pros. This new technology will double the speed of internal data transfer and provide better connectivity for those using public Wi-Fi networks. However, it's essential to note that not everyone will be able to take advantage of this feature without a compatible router.

As we wait for the official announcement, we can expect Apple to emphasize the performance upgrades offered by the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. The GPU is likely to receive a significant boost, while the CPU will provide faster processing speeds. However, it's essential to remember that these upgrades might not be enough to justify an upgrade for those who already have an M1 Pro or M1 Max model.

The Mac Pro is another area where we can expect some innovation from Apple. With the introduction of an M-enabled chip, there's potential for significant hardware changes and improvements. However, it's unclear whether this will be reflected in the upcoming MacBook Pros.

**The Expectations**

For those who are pushing their M1 Pro or M1 Max to the limits, this latest release might be worth considering. If you're someone who needs that extra 20% performance boost to take your work or productivity to the next level, then you'll want to keep an eye on this announcement.

However, for most users, the upgrade cycle has become predictable, and Apple's incremental approach means that there won't be enough new features or hardware changes to justify a purchase. As we've seen with previous releases, the M2 Pro and M2 Max might not offer enough to entice those who already have a capable machine.

**The Future of Innovation**

In recent years, Apple has perfected its ability to release incremental upgrades that cater to existing users rather than pushing the boundaries of innovation. While this approach has ensured stability and reliability for their customers, it also means that the company is no longer innovating as much as we'd like.

The future of Macs lies in areas such as AR and VR, where Apple can introduce new technologies that will revolutionize the way we interact with our devices. However, these developments are not yet ready to be showcased in a traditional MacBook Pro or iMac.

As we wait for tomorrow's announcement, it's essential to remember that the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros will likely be incremental upgrades rather than revolutionary changes. While they might offer some performance improvements and new features, they won't be enough to justify an upgrade for most users.

**Leaving a Lasting Impression**

Despite the lack of exciting hardware changes, Apple's presentation can still leave a lasting impression on their audience. The company has a reputation for delivering visually stunning products that showcase their engineering prowess.

Whether it's the new colorways, design elements, or features like Wi-Fi 6E, Apple will likely try to make a statement with this release. However, given the incremental nature of these upgrades, it's unclear how much attention they'll receive from the general public.

As we wait for tomorrow's announcement, we can only speculate about what Apple has in store for us. One thing is certain – the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros will be powerful machines that cater to existing users rather than pushing the boundaries of innovation.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso we just got some news that Apple might be releasing some new hardware much earlier this year than originally anticipated so in this video let's talk about what we think Apple's going to release as soon as tomorrow morning through a press release let's get into it so we've been able to figure out some information that Apple could be releasing via a news release or a press release the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips inside of the new 14-inch and 16 inch MacBook Pros so last year Apple finally released the M2 so the second generation version of their M lineup of chips and they put it into the M2 MacBook Air and then the M2 MacBook Pro but the MacBook Pro that kept the old design language the one that doesn't have any ports or anything like that so that one is one of the ones that you would kind of put as a wash because I don't know who would want the M2 MacBook Pro with the old design language that's already now seven eight years old now at this point but Apple did reinvent the M2 MacBook Air with a new design language to match the M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pros of years past so we got some information from Ian zelbo and also John Prosser to keep an eye out on Apple's news releases for this week because if the pattern follows we should be getting an announcement tomorrow on Tuesday then some press briefings and embargo lifts on Wednesday and Thursday and then next week we should be able to order these M2 pros and M2 Max MacBook Pros and another thing that kind of helps with this idea is that Apple actually released the M2 iPad Pro the same exact way it wasn't a big enough update to have it at a press event or a keynote that is specific to the iPad Pro so instead Apple just slightly dropped it the M2 iPad Pro with the upgraded chipset and the new Wi-Fi 6E and the hover feature just with the press release and apple also did this with the original airpods Pro back in I believe November of 2019 they literally just released the airpods pro as a press release and now they're one of the best selling airpods if not the best selling headphone on the market but as I've mentioned in the past those days where we went with that huge leap from the Intel based MacBooks to the M1 powered MacBooks where everybody was wowed with the speed with the consistency of the M1 chip being able to open multiple applications immediately everything moving over to an arm-based processor that leap was honestly exponential it was something that we hadn't seen in a very long time it kind of took especially the entry level MacBooks it took them from kind of being on the slower side especially opening applications that were in Native applications to now being able to open in 10 20 applications at the same time instantaneously because of Apple's new silicon but now moving from the M1 to the M2 we're probably going to see the same kind of iteration that we saw going from the M1 MacBook Air and also from the M1 iPad Pro over to the M2 versions of those computers so the reason this is coming out as a newsroom or press release is because there probably isn't a substantial enough upgrade to have a huge marketing play to kind of entice people that are already using M1 pros and M1 Max's to upgrade from those computers over to these new M2 pros and M2 Maxes so these new Macbook Pros in my opinion won't be for the people that just upgraded to the new versions of the M1 Pro and M1 Max it's gonna be for those people that are maybe coming from an M1 MacBook Air or even older maybe somebody's using it still a 2018 Intel based MacBook Pro that finally is on its last leg and they're ready to upgrade and now the newest version is going to be this M2 pro version in my opinion we're probably going to see the same iteration in terms of upgrade and specs from GPU and CPU of around 10 to 20 of those on a relative basis so think about maybe a 10 to 20 jump CPU and then a 15 to 25 jump in GPU nothing too crazy Apple's probably just gonna double the size of the Intel chip and also make it more power efficient A lot quieter than it was before and again everything's going to be optimization from a battery level standpoint so if you're a current owner of a MacBook Pro probably don't hold your breath for this release because it's going to be very incremental we're not going to see any upgrades the hardware is going to stay exactly the same the colorways are going to stay the same the port situation is going to stay the same I would love it if Apple upgraded the HDMI 4 from an HDMI 2.0 to an HDMI 2.1 just because you're spending you know about two thousand dollars as an entry level MacBook Pro at that point might as well give us the latest and greatest of HDMI technology one thing that we did find out is probably Apple will add Wi-Fi 6E to the new Macbook Pros with M2 Max and the M2 pro version Apple did this to the iPad Pros the M2 versions of the iPad pros and currently the M2 iPad Pro is the only one that has Wi-Fi 6E enabled and Wi-Fi 6E is a welcome addition it'll probably double your Wi-Fi speeds from an internal standpoint being able to take in more data at the same time keep in mind you're going to need a router that can actually Supply that Wi-Fi 6E to your laptop if you don't have one of those and you know the Wi-Fi 6E situation is probably your watch and if it's something that uses a lot of public Wi-Fi you're probably not going to be able to take advantage of this new speed but again Wi-Fi 6 is plenty fast enough for a lot of people so as we mentioned be on the lookout for a press release tomorrow for Apple to announce a new M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros and again both the 14 and 16 inch variants there shouldn't be too many Hardware differences if any at all if you already have an older one it's probably not going to be worth it to you at all and now we're in an age where Apple's kind of perfected what they want to do at this point right so everything is going to be an incremental upgrade the Innovation isn't going to come from a classic clamshell laptop at this point it's probably not going to come from a classic iPad Pro at this point it's going to be in different product categories like the AR VR headset that we mentioned maybe Apple does something to the Mac Pro that'll really wow us because the hardware should change on the Mac Pro with an M enabled chip but be on the lookout to see what Apple's going to do and how Apple's going to Market this new M2 Pro MacBook Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro and in their own right they're going to be absolute Beast Machines it's just probably not going to be that much of an upgrade compared to last year's model but that's gonna do for this video leave some comments down below what are you guys expecting out of this M2 MacBook Pro is this something that you're going to want to upgrade from from an M1 Pro like I want to know who those people are that are really pushing the M1 Max to the kind of like 99.9 because maybe if you're that person that's pushing it to the very end and you need that extra 20 by all means you know who you are and you'll want to upgrade and you'll be happy with the upgrade but for most of us we already have enough Headway with the M2 Pro and the M2 Max that's not going to be enough of an upgrade to really get you going especially if there's no Hardware differences and nothing kind of pretty to entice you but that's gonna do it everybody if you did enjoy leave a little dolphin in the comments down below so I know you made it to the end and if you guys want to watch more Mac OS
