After a flurry of Apple releases that noticed a brand new Apple TV 4K, M2 iPad Professionals, Tenth-gen iPad, iOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura within the area of per week, we have been anticipating new Macs to reach any day now. Now it seems like we’d want to attend so much longer.

In accordance with Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple’s subsequent spherical of Macs now received’t launch till 2023, possible at a March occasion. He studies that Apple is “aiming to introduce the upgraded fashions—together with M2-based variations of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Professionals—within the first quarter of calendar 2023.”

Apple has used its spring occasion to launch new Macs lately—final March noticed the introduction of the Mac Studio, and the earlier April introduced the 24-inch iMac. Nonetheless, if no new Macs arrive in November, it might be the primary Mac-less fall since 2017:

• 2021: 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Professional (M1 Professional/Max)
• 2020: MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Professional, Mac mini (M1)
• 2019: 16-inch MacBook Professional (Intel)
• 2018: MacBook Air, Mac mini (Intel)

Gurman says the brand new Macs will likely be launched alongside the launch of macOS Ventura 13.3. Apple solely simply launched the primary beta of macOS Ventura 13.1 final week, which we assumed would debut on the brand new Macs. However whereas that launch will possible arrive in November with Apple’s new Freeform app, Gurman doesn’t suppose new Macs will accompany it.

Apple reported a file $11.5 billion in Mac gross sales throughout its fiscal fourth quarter, but it surely warned that year-over-year progress possible wouldn’t be as excessive for the Mac within the all-important vacation quarter.

Throughout its fourth-quarter convention name, Tim Cook dinner mentioned Apple was “strategy[ing] the vacation season with our product lineup set,” which might imply that it’s finished releasing new merchandise. Nonetheless, because the rumored merchandise are little greater than M2 updates to the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Professional and the Mac mini, Cook dinner is also referring to the precise lineup.

At any charge, we’ll be maintaining our eyes peeled over the following few Tuesdays simply in case.
