TikTok is reportedly developing a new version of its app, codenamed M2, specifically for users in the United States.

Apple has long been rumoured to refresh its iPad Pro lineup with the M2 SoC found on the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13. Now, acclaimed tech insider Mark Gurman has claimed that the new M2-powered iPad Pro models will be coming in a ‘matter of days’.

Apple started using its in-house chip for the Macs in 2020 with the M1 in the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and 24-inch iMac. After that, it continued to make enhanced versions of the chip, M1 Pro and M1 Max, for the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, then in 2022 we get the M1 Ultra in the new Mac Studio. A new report has arrived saying that M2 might not stop at Ultra, as the company could introduce an even more powerful variant. 

Usually, a second Apple Event would follow up after the launch of the latest iPhone series. The second round would typically show the latest Macs, MacBooks and iPads but this year, Apple may not even hold a livestream event.

Based on a report by asia.nikkei.com, it seems that Apple has started production for the Apple M2 chip, which will be embedded in MacBooks that will be released in H2 2021. While not much is known in regards to the performance the new chip will have, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when the MacBooks are unveiled.
