The leak points to a new M1X processor and a notable hardware refresh. Apple has not confirmed any details about a new MacBook model or chip.
What the MacBook Pro 14 inch renders reveal
Instagram user Jetfromthenorth shared renders of the 14-inch and 16-inch models, along with proposed design and feature details. The 16-inch model appears slightly thinner in these images. The renders are unofficial, so they should be treated as speculation rather than confirmed specifications.
