According to a Bloomberg report , an M2 chip may also be coming as part of the transition to Apple Silicon .

It also has a single rear camera, and generally feels like a throwback to phones from five years ago. This year''s model may bring Face ID and 5G support, with a design that could be similar to 2018''s iPhone XR . Apple launched updated MacBook Pros in October, powered by its then-new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
