Apple launches more processors and MacBook Pros

Less than a month after it announced new iPhones and iPads, Apple Monday announced new customs chips to power its new generation devices aimed at creators of all kinds. The M1 Pro and M1 Max will take processing power to new levels with the new MacBook Pros announced along with them. This also means there will be fewer Macs now powered by Intel processors.

The two new MacBook Pros — 14 and 16 inches — will be configurable with both the new silicon announced by Cupertino. The MacBook Pros aimed at professional users will bring back a lot of the ports and MagSafe charging Apple had abandoned over the past few years. The new Liquid Retina HDR displays will come with an iPhone-like notch and feature ProMotion adaptive refresh rate.
