Apple is keeping the MacBook Pro 13 on the production line

Apple is going to release a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air soon, and as said, this new laptop is not going to replace the company’s 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple Inc. for Keeping the 13-inch MacBook Pro on the production line And upgrading it without much changes still has its reasons.

Apple’s MacBook Pro 13 will not be retired

Apple currently has two 13-inch models in the MacBook family: the MacBook Pro 13 M2 and the MacBook Air 13 M2. As Mark Gurman stated in his latest analysis on Bloomberg, Apple has no plans to retire the 13-inch MacBook Pro, even with the launch of the 15-inch MacBook Air. Of course, as mentioned, the 15-inch MacBook Air version is not going to be released with the new M3 processor and will still be equipped with the M2 processor, which is disappointing news.

Apple has a very good reason not to ship the M3 processor with the 15-inch MacBook Air right now; If Apple makes such a decision, the sales of MacBook Pro M2 will face a significant drop, and Apple is not looking for it yet. As expected, the M3 processor is only 6% slower than the M2 Max in multi-core processing and 24% faster in single-core processing.

Fortunately, if Apple introduces the M3 processor this year, it will upgrade the 13-inch MacBook Pro to it again, and users and collections that still use the 13-inch MacBook Pro and prefer it to the Air will not be disappointed. . As you know, the design of the MacBook Pro 13 has an active cooling system equipped with a fan, and on the other hand, the MacBook Air 13 is passively cooled without a fan; That’s why MacBook Pro is a neck and neck higher than MacBook Air in terms of technical performance in the long run and under processing pressure.
