M3 Mac mini, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro will not launch this year

According to some latest reports, Apple will not be launching the M3-equipped Mac mini and the upgraded 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro this year. Apple is expected to introduce its M3 chip in the fall, along with the first Mac models to use it. While the Mac mini is usually one of the first to come with the new Apple Silicon chip. But this year that will change.

According to the latest report from Mark Gurman, there will eventually be an M3 version of the Mac mini.” But instead of launching in the fall, it could potentially be pushed back to late 2024.

Since the M2 Mac mini arrived more than two years after the first M1 model. Gurman suspects that Apple doesn’t believe the Mac mini needs annual or more regular refreshes, unlike some other Mac models like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.

In addition, the report also revealed that the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro will not appear in the October release. Because they are going to use the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. Most likely, these devices will be launched in mid-2024.

This doesn’t mean we won’t get a MacBook Pro this year. Apple is launching a 13-inch MacBook Pro with M3 in the first wave, along with a 13-inch MacBook Air update and a 24-inch iMac.

Apple itself does not release any information about this yet. Anyway, we’ll get more information about it in the coming days. So stay tuned for more updates.
