Apple Silicon Mac Pro Reportedly Not Coming at WWDC, Mac Studio Refresh Likely Delayed Until M3The Apple silicon
Mac Pro will not be among the new hardware announcements at
WWDC 2023,
Bloomberg's
Mark Gurman believes.
Speaking on the
latest episode of The MacRumors Show, Gurman explained that while he still expects the new ‌Mac Pro‌ to launch this year, it is unlikely to emerge at WWDC in June. This is a significant delay over when the machine was originally expected to launch.
He added that the next-generation
Mac Studio will likely not contain M2-series chips, with Apple postponing a refresh of the device until the
M3 generation to avoid
cannibalizing the new Mac Pro.
Gurman also said that the new 15-inch
MacBook Air, which will contain an
M2 chip, was originally supposed to launch last year. This apparently means that the 13-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ could run on a separate chip upgrade cycle to the 15-inch model, with the smaller device potentially set to receive the ‌M3‌ chip well before it comes to the larger model. How Apple plans to align the chip upgrade cycle of the two devices in the long term remains to be seen.
Following up on an
earlier report, Gurman said that he now expects the "in-air typing" text input method to be present on Apple's mixed-reality headset when it launches, despite its "finicky" experience. He added that the device's two-hour battery life may be likely to remain through successive generations of the mixed-reality headset, much like how the two standard Apple Watch model sizes have had no battery life improvements since their announcement in 2014.
