Per the mighty noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is unlikely to release any new Macs or iPads throughout the remainder of 2023.
Last month, Kuo said Apple was unlikely to release any new MacBooks with the M3 chip this year. All existing MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are equipped with M2 series chips, so any new models would presumably be equipped with M3 chips, which effectively means that Kuo does not expect any new MacBooks at all for the rest of 2023.
Kuo also recently announced that the 24-inch iMac would likely be updated next in 2024, thereby ruling out the potential for an anticipated update this year. Apple’s other desktop Macs, including the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro, were already updated in 2023 and are highly unlikely to be updated again until 2024 or later.
The following Macs were released according to these dates:
- 15-inch MacBook Air: June 2023
- Mac Studio: June 2023
- Mac Pro: June 2023
- 14-inch MacBook Pro: January 2023
- 16-inch MacBook Pro: January 2023
- Mac mini: January 2023
- 13-inch MacBook Air: June 2022
- 13-inch MacBook Pro: June 2022
- iMac: April 2021
Kuo also recently stated that Apple was unlikely to release any new iPad models before the end of 2023.
Last month, Kuo said Apple was unlikely to release any new iPad models before the end of 2023.
The following Macs were released according to these dates:
- iPad Pro: October 2022
- iPad: October 2022
- iPad Air: March 2022
- iPad mini: September 2021
It’s a bit of hurry up and wait for the M3-based Macs you’re craving, but with any luck, they’ll be amazing once they hit the market.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
