Apple is preparing to launch the first M3 Apple Silicon Macs in October. According to Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Apple will likely launch its M3 Macs by the end of this year.
As always, Apple will launch a new iPhone 15 lineup, Apple Watch Series 9, and the new Apple Watch Ultra at the September event. However, Apple would also line up new Macs a month later in October. Apple will most likely launch a new M3 iMac, M3 13-inch MacBook Air, and M3 MacBook Pro.

In addition, the upcoming M3 chip will come with similar core counts to the M2. However, it will come with improved performance and efficiency thanks to the move to a new 3-nanometer silicon manufacturing process.
Apple launched the M2 Ultra Mac Studio and the 15-inch MacBook Air last month. Now it seems a bit odd that an M3 MacBook Air is set to go in October, while the M2 lineup was delayed due to supply chain issues.
We’re not sure if the company will hold an event in October, or if new Macs will arrive via press release. Most likely, Apple will hold an event for a major new Mac launch.
In addition, the new iPad Pro models, with OLED screens, will be launched in 2024. But Gurman says an iPad Air model with an updated chip may be ready this fall. In the same newsletter, Gurman also revealed that a new 30-inch iMac is in the works, which could debut as early as 2024.
