This several-week delay alone is 'a clear sign that something is about to happen,' says Gurman.Īnother reason leads the reporter to believe a Mac announcement will happen next week: Apple's earnings call is due to take place on Thursday, November 2.

Gurman notes that several configurations of Apple's 24-inch ‌iMac‌, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro are facing shipping delays running into mid-November. The well-connected reporter's prediction is based on information obtained from sources with apparent knowledge of Apple's plans, as well as the fact that some existing Mac models are in short supply online and at Apple retail stores. While Apple that didn't happen last year, there were October events in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021.īloomberg's Mark Gurman recently claimed that Apple is likely planning a Mac-related launch event this month that will take place on either Monday, October 30 or Tuesday, October 31.

If you look at the last decade, Apple often holds an annual fall event in which it launches new Macs and iPads. It's these last three models that are most due updates, but that's not to say Apple will prioritize them for updates over other Macs. Meanwhile, the 13-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ and 13-inch MacBook Pro haven't been updated in over 460 days, and the iMac hasn't seen an update in more than 900 days (Apple unveiled the M1 24-inch ‌iMac‌ way back in April 2021). Prior to that, in January, Apple released ‌M2‌ Pro and ‌M2‌ Max versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, alongside new M2-powered Mac mini models. It's been over 130 days since Apple released a new Mac, the last being M2 versions of the Mac Pro, Mac Studio, and 15-inch MacBook Air, all of which arrived in June. We're in the latter half of October now, and if Apple plans to launch Macs before the holidays, recent history suggests it will happen this month. Update: Apple at its 'Scary Fast' event on October 30 announced an updated M3-powered 24-inch iMac, as well as new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M3 series chips.Īpple often releases new Macs in the fall, but we are still waiting for official confirmation that the company has similar plans this year.
