Report Suggests Apple May Release New iMac and MacBooks in the Coming Weeks
Apple may consider launching new MacBooks and an updated iMac by the end of this month, Mark Gurman reports. These updated models, which could consist of a new 13-inch MacBook Pro, a high-end MacBook Pro, and a 24-inch iMac, could be announced as early as October 30 or 31.
Apple MacBook, iMac in short supply
In Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, Gurman mentions that Apple’s MacBooks and iMacs have been in short supply, and this could be an indication that Apple is looking to clear stock ahead of the official announcement later this month.
Additionally, the iMac in particular has gone more than 900 days without a hardware update since it was released in 2021 with the M1 chipset – Apple’s first generation of in-house silicon. And while Apple planned to release an updated model later, the plans had to be “adjusted.” Even so, Gurman says he’s been told of a “Mac-centric product launch at the end of this month. That could be its opportunity to announce this model.”
New MacBooks are also expected
Along with the iMac, Apple is also expected to update the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and due to the “advancement” of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, Apple could update these as well. Gurman notes that such a move “would be unusual, but not out of the question,” since Apple released new models in January, earlier this year.
In addition, Gurman says that Apple is also working on a high-end 32-inch iMac that will be released sometime in 2024 or 2025. And if it happens, it will be the largest iMac ever released.
