According to numerous rumors, Apple typically makes an announcement at the end of the year, but that doesn’t appear to be the case in 2023. That came amid news that Apple would unveil new iPads just last week.
No new Macs or iPads are anticipated to be released in 2023: Rumoured details
That leak turned out to be inaccurate, and Apple instead decided to just introduce a new Apple Pencil priced at $79 in its place. Potential purchasers will undoubtedly be disappointed by the absence of a new iPad in October, especially since there was a lot of talk in the past suggesting that Apple might also release new Macs with M3 processors. The 24-inch iMac in particular needs some love, but it currently seems less and less likely it will happen.
That’s according to a number of studies that supply chain expert Ming-Chi Kuo has published recently, who is typically well-connected. MacRumors has compiled a list of devices that are ready for an update as well as some that were only upgraded less than a year ago, like the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, with the October delivery window now practically passed.
In terms of what follows after, it’s conceivable that we will see M3-powered Macs in the first few weeks and months of 2024, with those processors being constructed using TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process, just like the A17 Pro chip seen in the iPhone 15 Pro.
