The display resolutions for Apple’s eagerly awaited next-generation M1X MacBook Pro models appear to have leaked. If accurate, they align with the rumored display sizes of 14-inches and 16-inches and will result in an increase in pixel density from Apple’s current 13-inch and 16-inch models.
Apple’s next-generation M1X-powered 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are expected to debut next month after several months of purported delays due to production issues. The latest details about the device to surface appear to have been leaked by Apple itself in code strings found by Steve Moser in the latest beta build of macOS Monterey.
The new 14-inch MacBook Pro will feature a display with a resolution of 3021 x 1964 pixels while the new 16-inch MacBook Pro will yield an increase in resolution from the 3072 x 1920 pixels of the current Intel model to 3456 x 2234 pixels. In both cases, Macrumors has calculated that this should see an increase in pixel density of Apple’s current MacBooks from around 227 pixels per inch to around 250 pixels per inch.
If accurate, this would result in a true 2x Retina setting as the default in the new M1X-powered MacBook Pro models, which would be the preferred option for overall viewing comfort. Of course, the new MacBook Pro models are also tipped to feature boosted specifications in other areas too, including mini-LED backlighting for more precise local area dimming control and possibly even 120 Hz refresh rates like the new iPhone 13 Pro models.

I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
