If you were waiting for Apple to release new MacBooks with an M3 chip, we have some potentially bad news. That isn’t official, but numerous sources, including Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and prolific leaker Revegnus, claim Apple won't release M3-powered MacBooks or iPads in 2023. According to the latter, TSMC can’t produce enough M3 chips for Apple’s next-gen tablets, laptops and desktops. iPads and Macs with the new generation of silicon will only appear in 2024.
Gurman claims the 3 new MacBooks reportedly launching at WWDC 2023 will have “processors on par with the current M2 chip” instead of the rumored Apple M3 chips. We’re not sure how these supposed M2 chips will differ from the ones found in laptops like the MacBook Air M2 or MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023, but it’s likely they won’t offer a major boost in performance.
