Apple might do a brand new product launch in October, in keeping with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his Energy On e-newsletter in the present day, and he speculates that the main focus of the presumably-post-iPhone 15 launch can be new Macs, hinting the M3-powered iMac could also be amongst them. Gurman has beforehand written that Apple is planning to launch an M3-powered iMac on the finish of this yr.
Gurman hedges fairly exhausting on this prediction, however the timing feels proper. The final time we noticed a brand new iMac was when Apple launched its colourful redesign greater than two years in the past.
That doesn’t essentially imply we’ll see any adjustments to the shape issue this time round. In final week’s Energy On, Gurman wrote that bigger, probably as much as 32-inch iMacs gained’t present up till late 2024, so this refresh may be a spec-bumped model of the 24-inch mannequin we’ve now — although that’s hardly a nasty factor.
Gurman additionally thinks we’ll be seeing M3-equipped updates to Apple’s 13-inch MacBooks — the MacBook Air and the MacBook professional — however he doesn’t get specific in regards to the iPad, saying a doable M3 model of the iPad Professional with an OLED display screen will present up subsequent yr. He does level out {that a} sooner iPad Air mannequin is in improvement. That will put Apple’s midrange iPad again on a yearly launch schedule after it skipped a refresh in 2021, releasing the M1-powered iPad Air in 2022.
Gurman beforehand stated the brand new M3 Macs — not less than, the iMac and 13-inch MacBook Air — might present up this yr or subsequent, making them the primary on the brand new rumored 3nm Apple Silicon chips. Originally of the yr, well-connected provide chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated new M3 Professional / Max chips are anticipated within the first half of 2024.
We’ll have to attend and see as the tip of the yr approaches whether or not this rumor will pan out.
