New Delhi: Apple may soon announce its latest higher-end MacBook Pro models on January 28. According to some reports, Apple is expected to introduce its latest MacBook Pro models powered by the upcoming M5 Pro and M5 Max chips on January 28, and on the same day, its latest Creator Studio subscription is scheduled to go live. The reports also stated that both the Creator Studio bundle and the MacBook Pro target professional users, and launching them together could enable Apple to position them as part of the same productivity and creative push.
Apple unveiled the base 14-inch MacBook Pro with the standard M5 chip in October. However, that launch did not include the usual higher-end variants with larger displays and more powerful processors. The company is expected to complete the lineup with the 16-inch MacBook Pro and versions running on the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Apart from the expected jump in performance, no significant design changes or latest hardware features are currently scheduled for these models.
Apple could be gearing up to introduce its anticipated entry-level MacBook in January. This model is expected to be powered by an iPhone-class A-series chip. Apple could announce this lower-cost MacBook along with the higher-end MacBook Pro models. Apple’s latest entry-level MacBook has already entered early production with supply chain partners since November last year. The device is stated to be powered by an A18 Pro chip and could come with a 12.9-inch display. This would make it smaller than the 13.6-inch screen used on MacBook Air. The latest model may use a more basic LCD panel instead of the higher-end displays seen on the other MacBooks.
Apple has recently announced Creator Studio, its latest subscription bundle that brings together several of its creative and productivity applications under one plan. This bundle includes tools for video editing, music production, image editing and presentation work across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Instead of purchasing each application separately, users will be able to access them through a single subscription. The monthly plan is priced at Rs 399, the yearly plan is priced at Rs 3,999, and there is a free trial for one month. This subscription includes: Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro and Pixelmator Pro on Mac and iPad, Motion, Compressor and MainStage on Mac.
