Jul. 17, 2023

M3-equipped Macs Coming Soon?

Gurman via hisPower On Newsletterhas revealed that Apple is gearing up to expand its Mac portfolio with M3 Apple siliconas early as October. The first products to gain the M3 chipset will be the 13-inch MacBook Air, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the next iMac. Although Gurman has not hinted at an exact debut date, we can expect Apple to make the announcement at the September iPhone 15 launch event with the official unveiling somewhere in October.

If you can recall, back in May, Gurmanreportedthat Apple is testing a high-end M3 chipset with12 CPU cores and 18 GPU cores.The rumored chip is expected to be the M3 Pro chipset and is said to be engineered on TSMC’s 3nm fabrication process. This means that by the time October arrives, the M3 chipsets will be sufficiently tested and made compatible for a conclusive launch.

Further, the M3-based iPad Pro is also expected to make its entry next year and Gurman suggests that there might not be any major upgrades, except for the presence of an OLED display. This was also hinted at in aprevious leak.

Although we can rely on Gurman’s notability, we will urge you to take this information with a grain of salt. Until and unless we gain some official insight and input, it will be best to stay skeptical with a hint of optimism. With that being said, we would like to know your thoughts on this new update.
