Good news for those eagerly awaiting a new 14-inch MacBook Pro in 2021 or a new 16-inch MacBook Pro in 2021: In his latest investment memo seen by MacRumors, respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the new MacBook Pro is still on track for the year, he said.

And based on all the rumored upgrades for these new Apple laptops, it seems like they are worth the wait. Additionally, the next iPad Pro 11-inch is said to have a mini LED display.

According to Kuo's notes, the section dedicated to the MacBook Pro explains that Apple plans to begin mass production of redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops in the third quarter, from July to September.

While Q3 production may mean that the laptops will be ready to launch alongside the iPhone 13 in September, Kuo said that Apple will give the new phones and the Apple Watch 7 a little space in October or November to give the computer He believes that another event for the hardware could be chosen.

The 2021 MacBook Pro promises a brighter, more colorful mini LED screen, HDMI ports and SD card slots, the return of MagSafe charging, and the elimination of the Touch Bar, along with the latest version of Apple's M1X chip. The MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020, released last year, was the first MacBook Pro to eliminate Intel and use Apple's own processor.

The second part of the investor memo focuses a bit further into the future, looking at the iPad Pro in 2022. According to Kuo, the mini LED screen technology introduced in this year's 12.9-inch iPad Pro will return in the smaller 11-inch model next year, as well as in the larger model.

The Mini LED technology in Apple's most expensive iPad packs more than 10,000 LEDs into the screen, and when combined with 2,500 local dimming zones, it can yield great picture quality, especially with HDR content.

Of course, some say the mini-LEDs are only a temporary fix for Apple, with an OLED iPad Air rumored for 2022 and an OLED iPad Pro for 2023. Both screen technologies have their pros and cons: while OLEDs have the advantage that each pixel lights up individually, they cannot be as bright as mini-LEDs.

Still, if these reports are true, it would be interesting to compare the iPad Air 5 to the 2022 iPad Pro panel. It may give us an early indicator as to whether Apple is right to adopt OLEDs in the long run.
