Apple plans to launch numerous new Macs with M2 chip at the end of this year as per the Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman Power On newsletter. Gurman predicts that the company will launch the 13.2-inch MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, a 24-inch iMac, and an updated MacBook Air. All will be equipped with the rumored Microsoft M2 chip.
Apple hasn’t given any details regarding the potential M2 chip, but the journalist Mark Gurman thinks that its CPU will be faster and more efficient than the M1’s as it is built on a smaller number of nodes and also it will have the same 8 core architecture as the M1. The graphics cores, however, could change from seven or eight to nine or ten.
The graphics cores, however, could change from seven or eight to nine or ten core GPU options. In the coming year 2023, journalist Gurman thinks Apple may launch Pro as well as Max variants of its M2 processor similar to what it did with the M1 chip as well as announcing the M3 chip.
It’s been more than one year since Apple announced its very first internal M1 processor in November of 2020 and a few months after the M1 Max and M1 Pro launch. In the meantime, as Apple continues to separate its products away from Intel chips, the company does have several additional Macs to be released which are likely to take any Intel-powered devices remaining out of its range. Journalist Gurman predicts a larger iMac Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max which are the most powerful chip options to replace the existing 27-inch iMac Pro, along with an even small Mac Pro that comes with the equivalent of either two or four M1 Max chips.
As far as a timeline goes, the Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman says Apple will launch the new Macs beginning in March followed by another in June or May. Apple is already expected to unveil 5G iPad Air, 5G iPhone SE, and new Mac at a rumored March 8th launch event.
The company is also expected to launch iOS 15.4 in March comes with a Face ID that is compatible with face masks. A new iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 will not be available until later in the year.
