The new 16-inch MacBook Pro can be configured with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. The M1 Max chip is the highest-end Apple silicon chip available, and alongside the added performance, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip comes with another difference — it's heavier, slightly.
As we've already highlighted, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro is heavier and thicker than the previous model. The added thickness and weight come from a new chassis, more ports, and other factors. Apple's specification breakdown page for the new 16-inch MacBook Pro says that models configured with the M1 Pro chip will weigh 4.7 pounds, or 2.1 kg, while models shipping with the M1 Max chip will weigh 4.8 pounds or 2.2 kg.
The M1 Max chip is physically bigger than the M1 Pro chip; however, the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which is also offered with the M1 Max chip, features the same weight regardless of the chip used. A footnote on Apple's page says that the weight difference on the larger 16-inch model between M1 Pro and M1 Max results from the "configuration and manufacturing process."
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has high expectations for Apple's first foldable iPhone.
In his Power On newsletter today, he said the foldable iPhone will be "the most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history."
"iPhone 4, iPhone 6 and iPhone X were clearly a big deal, but this is a whole new design," he said.
Like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, the foldable iPhone will reportedly open up like ...

Apple on Monday unveiled the iPhone 17e and an updated iPad Air, but it is not finished yet. Apple promised "a big week ahead," and it is expected to announce additional new products this Tuesday, March 3 and Wednesday, March 4.
The most likely possibilities for Tuesday include updated 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M5 chip, and higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro...
Apple today announced new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, both built on a new Fusion Architecture that bonds two third-generation 3nm dies into a single chip using advanced packaging.
The Fusion Architecture is a first for Apple silicon, since previous chips used a single-die design. The two bonded dies house the CPU, GPU, Media Engine, Neural...
With the debut of the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, Apple tweaked the available configurations for the standard M5 MacBook Pro.
The 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro used to start with 512GB of storage, but Apple has removed that option. All MacBook Pro models, including the entry-level M5 version, start with a 1TB SSD that can be upgraded to 4TB.
The starting price of the M5 MacBook Pro was ...
20 grams difference. That's about $1 USD in quarters. You probably won't feel the difference when picking up both devices but you can do a lot with 20g of heat sink.
It might just be as simple as the 16” gets extra cooling that the 14” doesn’t get since it has more space. So likely the 14” will run the fans louder/faster than the 16” but will have the same performance.
Important to note that it's not just the APU, but with the M1 Max, it's 4 RAM chips, while the M1 Pro is 2 RAM chips. If they changed the number of RAM chips then it would affect the memory bandwidth performance, so a M1 Max with 64GB RAM will have 4x16GB chips, but one with 32GB RAM will have 4x8GB Chips. Likewise the M1 Pro with 32GB has 2x16GB chips, while the 16GB version will have 2x8GB chips, this is why the 64GB memory option is only available with the M1 Max.
