It ’s possible that Tuesday’sWonderlust eventto unveil the tardy iPhones and Apple Watches could be the last major product release of this year for Apple . Past reports have said that Apple had plans to do a Mac update later this fall to introduce the extremely anticipated M3 chip , but a new report has muffle those expectation .
According to analyst Ming - Chi Kuo on X ( formerly Twitter ) , the next generation of M - series scrap , the M3 , wo n’t make its debut in a MacBook until next year . Kuo has a report as a dependable analyst who keeps an eye on supply chain trends .
Several other source have report that Apple design to release M3 Macs this fall . Last month , Bloomberg ’s Mark Gurman say that Apple’sM3 ’s departure cyclewould in all likelihood begin in October with the M3 splintering in the 13 - inch MacBook Pro,13- and 15 - column inch MacBook Air , Mac mini , andiMac . The M3 Pro , Max , and Ultra versions would then rove out throughout 2024 . Gurman has not comment on Kuo ’s post , though has reported that Apple might not make a second fall event this year .
Kuo does n’t cite any possible reason for a previous unveiling of the M3 – it ’s not exculpated if this was Apple ’s intention all along or if there were yield issues that caused the spill to be pushed back . The M3 has been reported to be invent using a 3 Land of Enchantment process , which would make it thefirst 3 nm chip in a laptop or background computer . The 3 nm outgrowth is new for chip manufacturer TSMC and its production content is comparatively small , so it ’s potential that Apple need to aline its release schedule . The A17 Bionic in the iPhone 15 Prothat will be released on Tuesday is expected to be a 3 nm chip as well , and iPhone product takes priority over the Mac .
The 3 New Mexico cognitive process allows for more transistors to gibe on a chip , which could potentially provide a performance rise that exceeds the typical 15 to 20 percent seen between chip coevals . The M3 could also offer better power efficiency , which would increase a laptop ’s battery lifespan .
