M2 13-inch MacBook Pro may land in March, design unchanged

An updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with the "M2" chip is expected to arrive in March, but rumors suggest Apple will keep the same design as the existing M1 model rather than revamp it to make it closer to a 14-inch model and 16-in.-inch models.

It is widely believed that Apple is preparing a special event for March, where it is expected to launch a new Mac as well as an updated iPhone SE. A new rumor suggests the new 13-inch MacBook Pro will look just like the old one, with the update being more of a specs bump.

According to reports, the new model will continue to use a notch-less display design, but will obviously not support ProMotion technology. It will also feature a Touch Bar, an element removed from the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro.

While the exterior styling will obviously remain the same, the internals will be different, with the use of an M2 chip instead of an M1 being the major upgrade.

The leaker previously correctly revealed that there would be a notch on the 14-inch and 16-inch models, and that it would not support Face ID.

Previously, a report on February 6 claimed that the new entry-level MacBook Pro will lose the Touch Bar but will not come with ProMotion or a mini LED display to save costs. There has been speculation that Apple could launch a new 14-inch model with an M2 processor in January to replace the current base model.

Three new Mac models have appeared in EEC regulatory filings, suggesting they are likely to be launched soon. There are also reports that Apple's suppliers have paid employees to skip the Chinese New Year holiday in order to maintain production and meet deadlines, possibly in preparation for the launch of new Macbook Pro models.

The M2 is considered an improvement over the M1, with the same 8 CPU core count but higher clock speeds, and increases the GPU core count from 7-core and 8-core options to 9-core and 10-core options.
