Apple could bring first M3-powered Macs in October – Times of India
In his weekly newsletter, Power On, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg speculates that Apple will bring the new batch of Macs in October, a month after the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 series. These new Macs would come with the next-generation M3 chip.
Gurman says that there would be new MacBooks – a new 13-inch MacBook Air and a 13-inch MacBook Pro – both powered by the yet-to-be-announced M3 chip.
There is not much new to expect for the 13-inch MacBook Air coming later this year, as it already received a design refresh last year, apart from the new chip. While the 13-inch MacBook Pro is also in for a hardware refresh, there is no word if it will also get a look makeover.
The third new Mac expected to arrive this October, according to Gurman, could be a M3-powered iMac, which we last saw on the stage more than two years ago, donning a new colourful avatar and first-gen Apple Silicon.
It’s possible that the upcoming iMac might not have any changes to the form factor. According to Gurman’s Power On last week, the larger iMacs, possibly including a 32-inch model, are not expected until late 2024.
There is also an M3-powered iPad Pro and iPad Air on the cards, but the two might not come until next year, according to Gurman.
Apple has been testing the M3 chips for a while now. The M3 chip is expected to use a 3nm process, improving performance and power efficiency from the 5nm process used for the current-generation chips. Eventually, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips will power the likes of MacBook Pros, Mac Studio, and other machines from the Pro lineup.
