As Apple enthusiasts eagerly await the iPhone 15 and the latest Apple Watch, the tech giant’s roadmap for the rest of the year seems packed with excitement. Even as the dust settles around the recent release of the Mac M2 series, speculations are already rife about their successors, and it appears that the wait won’t be too long before the next generation hits the keyboard.
Anticipating the First Mac M3 Launch
In his latest Sunday newsletter, technology journalist Mark Gurman doesn’t just hint at a major overhaul for the iPad Pro, bringing it closer than ever to the Mac, but also touches upon the impending launch of the Mac M3 lineup. Building on his earlier predictions this summer, Gurman suggests that the inaugural Mac models featuring the M3 chip could see the light of day as early as October.

Throughout the past decade, October has witnessed Apple’s hosting of several special events in the years 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021. However, the company has opted for more low-key years with simple website updates. Once again, it seems Apple might forego a grand spectacle and instead opt for a subtle announcement, much like its previous approach.

Which Mac Models Should We Expect in October?
Rumor has it that the initial lineup embracing the M3 chip will likely include the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the 13-inch MacBook Air, and the 24-inch iMac. According to public speculation, the M3 chip is expected to be manufactured using the 3nm process by TSMC, a new technology promising significant performance and energy efficiency improvements over the M2 chip (manufactured on a 5nm process).
Conversely, the highly-anticipated next generation of MacBook Pro with 14 and 16-inch displays might not be part of the inaugural batch. This follows a similar pattern from the M1 and M2 transitions. Therefore, these models are unlikely to be among the first Mac M3 offerings. Instead, the MacBook Pro 14 and 16-inch variants are projected to benefit from the M3 Pro, M3 Max, and M3 Ultra chips. These variants are expected to be released later, likely around mid-2024.
As October approaches, Apple aficionados around the world eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Mac M3 lineup. With technological advancements and enhanced performance promises, these new models could mark another leap forward for Apple’s computing prowess.
