Those new M3-equipped iMacs could be coming in October

According to, Apple may launch a new product in October Bloomberg’s mark gurman in his power on newsletter today, and he speculated that the focus after the iPhone 15 launch would likely be on new Macs, hinting that the M3-powered iMac could be one of them. Gurman has previously written that Apple plans to release an M3-powered iMac later this year.

Gurman is cautious about this prediction, but the timing seems right. The last time we saw the new iMac was when Apple released its colorful redesign more than two years ago.

This does not mean that we will see any change in form factor this time. in the last week power on, Gurman notes that larger, potentially up to 32-inch iMacs won’t appear until late 2024, so this refresh could just be a spec-bumped version of the 24-inch model we have now — though that’s hardly the case. Bad thing.

Gurman also thinks we’ll see M3-equipped updates to Apple’s 13-inch MacBooks — the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro — but he’s unclear about the iPad, saying there could be a possible M3 version of the iPad Pro with OLED. Is. The screen will appear next year. He points out that a faster iPad Air model is in development. That would put Apple’s midrange iPad back on its annual release schedule, as the M1-powered iPad Air will be released in 2022, skipping a refresh in 2021.

Gurman previously said that the new M3 Macs — at least, the iMac and the 13-inch MacBook Air — could appear this year or next, which would make them the first of the new rumored 3nm Apple silicon chips. At the beginning of the year, well-connected supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the new M3 Pro/Max chips are expected to arrive in the first half of 2024.

We will have to wait and see whether this rumor will fizzle out as the year comes to an end.
