A new rumor has claimed the next MacBook Air could also sport a display notch, However, this one looks rather sketchy with no images to back up such a claim or any sources referenced. We're also not expecting to see a new MacBook Air this year, so take all of this with a pinch of salt.

We're not expecting any Apple TV-related news at today's Apple event, but one Tom's Guide editor is hoping for a "one more thing" from Apple on it. Here's Henry Casey on why an Apple TV Stick would make him very happy.

So what of the Mac mini M1X? Rumors suggest a new model could be shown off at today's Apple event, although it's far from certain.

iDrop News, for instance, claims insider information from a person involved in Apple's marketing that said the launch has been delayed in order to let the new MacBooks "shine."

However, the same report claims supply chain insider information, which has production for a new Mac mini ramping up. We'll have to wait and see on this one.

An alleged MacBook Pro 2021 photo leak shows a possible display notch for the display. It's not clear why the new MacBook Pro would have a notch, but one rumor points to a sharper 1080p camera, which could take up more room. We have not seen any Face ID leaks for the new MacBook Pros but anything could happen.

Well this is interesting. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the new MacBook Pro chips will be called 'M1 Pro' and 'M1 Max.' This could be instead of M1X. If we had to guess, the M1 Pro could be the base chip for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, and the M1 Max could be the chip for the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

According to Gurman: "Both chip versions will have 10 CPU cores comprised of eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores. The difference will be in graphics: One chip will have 16 graphics cores, and the other will have 32."
