Exciting news and some slight disappointments for Apple enthusiasts! According to Bloomberg’s tech guru, Mark Gurman, it looks like the much-anticipated Apple M3 MacBook Pro 13-inch might not make its grand entrance at the upcoming ‘Scary Fast‘ Apple event on October 30.
Mark Gurman points out that stocks for the current 13-inch MacBook Pro are dwindling, and a new model with a ‘base version of the M3 chip’ is indeed in the works, but it’s unlikely to be unveiled at the event.
So, what’s on the menu for the event? Mark Gurman suggests that Apple is likely to shine the spotlight on the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, all powered by the M3-series chips.
It’s a bit of a bummer for those eagerly awaiting a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 chip, especially since the current model has been around for over 18 months.
However, there’s a silver lining. The larger MacBook Pro models are expected to receive substantial performance upgrades with the M3 chip. So, if you need a more powerful MacBook Pro, it might still be worth holding out for the new models.
But that’s not all. Rumor has it that Apple has something big in store for the iMac enthusiasts. The current iMac uses the M1 chip, but the gossip mill suggests that a new model with the M3 chip is in the works.
If these rumors hold true, this new iMac could be a game-changer with at least 8 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores, and the high-end models might even boast a whopping 16 CPU cores and 40 GPU cores, potentially making it one of the most powerful desktop computers out there.
While we can’t be entirely certain that Apple will unveil all of these products at the October event, the rumors are interesting. Stay tuned for more!
