Apple is also testing a Mac mini with an M1 Pro chip, the same processor used in the entry-level 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, the report added.
In March, Apple introduced a faster chip for a new desktop, a high point in Apple’s move to power its devices with microprocessors designed in house.
Last year, Apple announced two new MacBook Pro models that run on more powerful in-house chips, furthering its break from previous supplier Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC).
Apple was not immediately available for Reuters request for a comment.
