On April 25, according to Global Tech quoted foreign media reports, a new report shows that Apple is already developing a new iMac equipped with M3 chips, which may be launched next year. Apple released the iMac 24 with the M1 chip in May last year, and there is news that the new generation of iMac may skip the M2 chip and use the M3 directly.
Foreign media expect that Apple will launch new Mac products equipped with M2 series chips this year, including M2 chips for MacBook Air, entry-level MacBook Pro and Mac mini; M2 Pro/Max chips for the new 14-inch, 16-inch MacBook Pro; and M2 Ultra chips for Mac Pro.
Well-known journalist Mark Gullman said in the latest issue of "Power On" that the new Mac product equipped with M2 series chips can be launched as soon as June. This year's Apple spring new product conference, Apple did not release the M2 chip of the MacBook Air, so that many small partners feel regret, perhaps the second half of the year can see the new MacBook Air, you may wish to save some money first.
According to the news currently exposed, M2 does not have much improvement in parameters compared to M1, but it makes up for M1's shortcomings in some details and further strengthens the energy efficiency ratio. There is not much hardware information about the M3, but it is exposed that Apple is developing, and it is difficult to say whether it will be on next year.
But then again, the hard power of the M1 series of chips is already very strong, Xiao Lei's colleagues said that the MacBook Air, which has been used for so long, has not played the full strength of M1. Besides, Apple also has M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra and other more powerful processors, whether it is for professional workers, or ordinary users, performance has been in a state of excess, Xiao Lei feels that Apple's M series chips will not have much leap in the short term.
In Xiao Lei's view, Apple is definitely going to launch an iterative product of the M1 chip, but the most important thing at present may be to cover the self-developed Apple Silicon to iMac Pro, Mac Pro and other products that have not been updated for a long time, M2, M3 may be a relatively late thing. Now that the supply of Mac products has not fully returned to normal, it may also slow down the pace of Apple's new product release, and it is better to consider the cash model if you are anxious to buy a MacBook.
