In a note to investors, famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo pointed out that Apple is working on two new MacBook Pros that bring back the SDSX card reader and have an HDMI port. These will hit store shelves later this year.
While not explicitly stated, it could be the 14-inch and 16-inch Apple Silicon-powered Apple MacBook Pros for 2021.
This is the second time we’ve learned that Apple will be bringing back the SD card reader on its laptops. It is interesting to know what kind of port Apple will use for HDMI. Current MacBooks already have display compatible USB-C ports (Thunderbolt on Intel Macs, not M1 Macs).

Apple would be bringing a redesign to its 2021 Macs with the flat sides of the current iPad and iPhone, no touch bar, and maybe even a return to the MagSafe magnetic power connector. Apple will consider migrating its entire line of laptops to its own silicon in 2021, working on 8 and 12-core chips in early 2021 and up to 20 cores for the second half of the year.
