The M3 chip, the next generation of Apple Silicon, is expected to appear in new Macs later this year. But some models will have to wait longer: the high-end MacBook Pro and the Mac mini are both expected to stick with M2 processors this year, moving to the M3 in 2024.
That’s according to Bloomberg, whose Mark Gurman reports that the M3 Mac mini is “a sure thing” but not currently a priority for Apple. As a result it’s not likely to be among the first generation of M3 Macs that we’re expecting to see this October; the launch is “probably” going to be closer to the middle of 2024.
