We probably shouldn't expect M3-powered MacBooks by the end of the year

The unfortunate speculation comes from an industry analyst.

          By Apple's book, it should be already broken and you have to be enjoying a buttery smooth M1 Macbook.

            Anonymous, 10 Sep 2023Because intel.. M1 will support at least 5-6 yearsAt least 5-6 years? Did you know Apple stopped supporting 10.15 Catalina barely THREE years after launch? Even 11 Big Sur and 12 Monterey are on their way to be a legacy OS.

            But of you course you won't accept the fact because "aRm iS teH bEsT". 💁

                  We got the (very delayed) M2 Ultra already and ahead of schedule, so the timetable potentially moves up slightly. We COULD see the very expensive Apple iPad Pro with the underclocked M3 chipset this year. But don't expect the meat of the stack to come that early, which is primarily the 14inch MBP with the M3 Pro chipset, and now also the overclocked M3 chipset in the 15inch MBA.

                          Maybe Apple should bring back x86 to macOS. I see lots of macOS software developers who still don't like Apple's decision of going ARM only.

                            I really want to see how “significantly more powerful” and efficient they truly are once the benchmarks come out.

                                    Looks like fake news from China propaganda machine to me.

                                    Back in May I read a China news that said Apple is totally pulling out of India cos the workers there are lacking in skills. Last month I just read Apple has expanded India production line.

                                    Go figure guys.

                                      My guess is that it'll come in January 2024 like the MacBook Pros or in Spring 2024.

                                        Why somebody would like those?
