Apple’s upcoming 14-inch Apple Silicon MacBook Pro will cost more than the current 13-inch MacBook Pro and both the 14 and 16-inch models will offer the same performance, according to the leaker known as “Dylandkt.”
Hartley Charlton for MacRumors:
The leaker shared the information on Twitter, explaining that both of the upcoming MacBook Pro models, expected to come in 14 and 16-inch sizes, will feature the same performance due to having the same “M1X” chip.
Currently, the 16-inch MacBook Pro offers a significant performance improvement over the high-end 13-inch models due to its more powerful Intel chips and better thermals, so bringing the two model sizes to parity could be a major boost for owners of the smaller, more portable model.

MacDailyNews Take: Of course, it makes sense that a 14-inch display would cost more than a 13-inch machine. Because Apple Silicon is so much more efficient and less thermally-constrained vs. Intel snails, we’re really looking forward to Apple offering “just-as’fast” smaller MacBook Pro models as the flagship 16-inch. As users of the current Intel i9 16-inch MacBook Pro, we can’t wait to stop having to deal with frequent and significant fan noise!
