Apple is Testing At Least 9 New Macs With 4 Different M2 Chips [Report]

Apple is purportedly testing at least nine new Mac models with four different M2-based chips, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The site has identified these models from developer logs, suggesting the machines may be nearing release in the coming months.

The new computers being tested include:


● MacBook Air (codenamed J413) with M2 chip (8-core CPU, 10-core GPU)
● Mac mini (codenamed J473) with M2 chip (8-core CPU, 10-core GPU)
● Mac mini (codenamed J474) with M2 Pro chip
● Entry-level MacBook Pro (codenamed J493) with M2 chip (8-core CPU, 10-core GPU)
● 14-inch MacBook Pro (codenamed J414) with M2 Pro chip
● 14-inch MacBook Pro (codenamed J414) with M2 Max chip (12-core CPU, 38-core GPU)
● 16-inch MacBook Pro (codenamed J416) with M2 Pro chip
● 16-inch MacBook Pro (codenamed J416) with M2 Max chip (12-core CPU, 38-core GPU)
● Mac Pro (codenamed J180) with successor to the M1 Ultra chip used in the Mac Studio

Bloomberg also says Apple is testing a Mac mini with an M1 Pro chip (codenamed J374) and has previously tested a Mac mini with an M1 Max chip. However, the site suggests the Mac Studio may make these devices redundant.

There's a good chance Apple could unveil some of this new hardware at WWDC 2022 alongside its new operating systems for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates.
