High-profile analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple Inc. AAPL may completely revamp the design of its MacBook Pro by 2025, with the potential addition of a more affordable model to its range.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a TF Securities analyst, shared his predictions in a series of tweets following a Mac-focused event by Apple in late October, AppleInsider reported. He implies that if Apple’s M3 plan cannot stimulate MacBook shipments, a total redesign of MacBook Pro might be on the horizon in 2025.
Although Kuo did not specify whether the redesign would affect only the high-end models, such as the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, or include other offerings like the 13-inch MacBook Pro, he did hint at a possible redesign of the higher-specification MacBook Pro.
Kuo also suggested that Apple might consider introducing a more affordable MacBook model to increase shipments. With a design overhaul and a possible value-focused model, Kuo anticipates that Apple should aim for 8 to 10 million units shipped annually.
The current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro chassis designs, launched in October 2021, would be over three years old by the start of 2025, making a redesign plausible.
