미국의 전문 IT 전문매체인 애플인사이더는 12일 밍치 쿠오 애널리스트의 주장을 인용, 애플이 2014년에 12인치 맥북과 아이패드 6세대를 출시할 예정이라고 보도했다. 그 동안 높은 적중률을 보여주었던 쿠오의 예측에 의하면 12인치 맥북은 기존 제품들보다 얇을 뿐만 아니라 맥북에어의 가벼움과 맥북프로의 생산성까지 갖추었을 것이라고 전했다. 또한 그는 애플이 새로운 맥북의 A 시리즈 칩을 도입하는 대신 계속 인텔 칩을 쓸 것이라고 전망했다. 쿠오는 아이패드 6세대가 현재 레티나 디스플레이보다 화소 수가 40 퍼센트 가량 더 높고 선명한 디스플레이를 탑재할 것이라고 말했다. 쿠오는 2012년 가을 신제품들과 2013년 신제품 출시 일정을 정확히 예측한 바 있다.
