Apple has n’t revealed new hardware at a WWDC event since theMac Pro and Pro Display XDRmade an appearance in 2019 , so we werehoping this yearwould bring a standardized sneak peek at the Modern M2 chip , redesigned MacBook Air , or newfangled Mac Pro .
We were also hoping to get a look at the new 27 - inch iMac at WWDC , but now that Apple has released a 27 - inch Studio Display and discontinued the iMac , it ’s very much in doubt whether we ’ll ever get an iMac larger than the 24 - column inch model that launch last April . And even if we do , it ’s not coming this year .
There ’s also the 13 - in MacBook Pro refresh , which will presumptively get an M2 processor alongside the launching of the MacBook Air later this year . The same travel for the 24 - in iMac , which will likely get an M2 boost next outflow , pose Apple silicon on a 24 - calendar month beat , a minute longerthan we in the first place expected . However , production and supplying issues have confuse Apple ’s plan into upheaval , so that metre frame could be shortened with the M3 .
So what ’s provide ? The higher - terminal Mac miniskirt , which is now pegged to get an M2 Pro processor sometime in 2023 , and the 14 - column inch and 16 - inch MacBook Pro , which will also presumably get M2 Pro and M2 Max CPU sometime in 2023 .
The only idle card is the Mac Pro . We ’re still not trusted what the machine will look like or what chip will power it , but Apple say at its “ Peek Performance ” result that theM1 Ultrawas the last cow chip in the M1 family . So Apple could expend WWDC to bring out a raw workstation CPU that does n’t carry the “ M ” name and give us a peep at a newfangled Mac tower . After the Mac Studio arrive just last week , however , that seems unlikely as well .
In fact , Gurman speculatesthat the Mac Pro could use a young “ Extreme ” var. of the M2 silicon chip that HyperFuses two M2 Max chips together , which would n’t make it until next year . That would mean Apple does n’t quite meet its two - yr Apple atomic number 14 transition deadline , but with the Mac Studio and MacBook Pro , as well as a redesign MacBook Air on the way , there are plenty of Macs to tide us over .
