Apple fans were expecting a new MacBook Pro to be introduced at WWDC 2021. But, detective work indicates that the company had either planned at some point to announce the MacBook Pro at the event. , either wanted to attract those who seek news about it.
YouTuber Max Balzer (reported by MacRumors) noticed that Apple tagged "M1X MacBook Pro" on its YouTube video of the WWDC presentation, along with more obvious tags like "WWDC", "Apple Special Event" , "Developers" and "Keynote".
One may wonder what this means.
One suggestion is that Apple originally intended to launch new MacBooks this week, and changed its plans at the last minute without thinking to update its YouTube video metadata. But given that the "iMac", "iPhone" and "iPad Pro" tags are also present there on the video, then this seems unlikely.
It was unlikely that Apple would launch all of these devices at WWDC, with the iMac and iPad Pro having just been updated and the iPhone 13 surely due out in the fall.
Rather, we believe that Apple, pragmatically, simply decided to brand its video with all the devices and hardware fans expected to see at WWDC. Thus, Internet users searching YouTube for information on new MacBook Pro, iMac or iPhone models would be directed to the WWDC video where they would find the answer to their question.
The MacBook Pro haven't been announced, but it's still a highly anticipated device that will debut shortly. Latest reports suggest the new model will come with a more powerful variant of the M1 chip (likely an M1X rather than an M2, if unveiled in the next few months) and up to 64GB of RAM.
