Tech Desk January 17, 2023

Apple analysts including MacRumours, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, 9to5Mac, and Front Page Tech, all claim that the company will announce its first products of 2023 today, and chances are that it might be the new MacBook Pro models.

While most analysts aren't clear on the details, Gurman is convinced that the new MacBook Pro may have the same design as the M1 variants released in 2021.

The 14-and 16-inch laptops will have new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips that would feature up to 12 CPU cores and 38 GPU cores in the Max. A touchscreen or major changes to the device, aren't expected.
