Apple M2 chipset could arrive in July 2021: report

• Apple's M1 successor, the Apple M2 chip, could be unveiled in July 2021. 
• It will reportedly use TSMC's 5nm node (N5P), a slightly enhanced version of its existing 5nm process. 
• The Apple M2 is expected to make its debut alongside a new MacBook model. 

Apple has already refreshed a good chunk of its products with the M1 chip. Now, its successor is on the way, too, according to a new report from Nikkei. Apple has already begun mass production of the M2 silicon, which could be unveiled as early as July 2021. The putative Apple M2 chip is expected to debut alongside some new Macbooks later in the year. Apple usually talks about these things at WWDC, which is set to happen in June this year. Several reports talked about an M1 successor called the M1X and the existence of an M2 muddies the waters even more. Then again, there is a possibility that both the M1X and M2 are real, entirely different chipsets.
