Kuo's expression suggests he expects Apple to unveil various M3 chip variants next week, possibly including M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. If Apple releases multiple M3 chips simultaneously, we can anticipate seeing them featured in the 14-inch and 16-inch lineups.
Kuo: MacBook Pro M3 to Steal the Show on Apple's October 30Kuo previously suggested that Apple might not introduce new models in 2023 due to limited Q4 2023 shipments. If the Pro debuts in November or December, the supply shortage may extend into Q1 2024. This analyst added that Mac inventory has dwindled due to 'constrained M2 computational power upgrades,' potentially prompting Apple to release limited quantities of MacBook Pro M3.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman indicated earlier that Apple has tested MacBook Pro M3 Max and M3 Pro models, hinting at an early release. Gurman, just last week, announced that Apple won't update the 14-inch and 16-inch models with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips until early 2024, suggesting a shift in his earlier prediction.
