Apple is expected to launch a refreshed MacBook Pro later this year, but according to Bloomberg, it won\u2019t come equipped with a next-gen processor. Instead, Apple is going to equip the highly anticipated device with Pro and Max variants of the current-gen M5 silicon.<\/p>\n

Instead, the upcoming MacBook Pro will adopt a punch-hole look, inspired by the pill-shaped cutout on the iPhone. \u201cThe Dynamic Island on the Mac will be built around a hole-punch-sized cutout for the computer\u2019s camera. It\u2019s smaller than the pill-shaped notch in current iPhones,\u201d says the report. \u00a0<\/p>\n

As per Bloomberg, Apple is already prepping successors that will come equipped with an M7-series processor. Interestingly, the company is also eying an OLED display treatment for the MacBook Air down the…
