    Apple is unlikely to release any new Macs or iPads
    for the remainder of 2023 <https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/20/no-new-macs-or-ipads-expected-rest-of-2023/>

    Apple is unlikely to release any new Macs or iPads for the remainder of
    2023, according to a series of predictions shared in recent weeks by
    analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

    Last month, Kuo said Apple was unlikely to release any new MacBooks with
    the M3 chip this year.

    All existing MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are equipped with M2 series chips, so any new models would presumably be equipped with M3 chips, which effectively means that Kuo does not expect any new MacBooks at all for the
    rest of 2023.

    Earlier this week, Kuo added that the 24-inch iMac would be updated next in 2024, ruling out an update to the all-in-one desktop computer this year.

    All other desktop Macs, including the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro,
    were already updated in 2023 and are highly unlikely to be updated again
    until 2024 or later.

    Macs by Date Last Updated
    15-inch MacBook Air: June 2023
    Mac Studio: June 2023
    Mac Pro: June 2023
    14-inch MacBook Pro: January 2023
    16-inch MacBook Pro: January 2023
    Mac mini: January 2023
    13-inch MacBook Air: June 2022
    13-inch MacBook Pro: June 2022
    iMac: April 2021

    iPads
    Last month, Kuo said Apple was unlikely to release any new iPad models
    before the end of 2023.

    Apple has yet to release any new iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, or
    entry-level iPad models this year.

    If that trend continues for the remainder of 2023 as expected, it would be
    the first calendar year with no new iPads released in the device's 13-year history.

    And?

    Who cares?

    I do.

    This iMac is a 2012 model (i7 quad-core, HT) that is remarkably good for
    its age except in one area: video rendering at higher resolutions. All
    other uses from photo editing to compiling code to running other OS' in
    VM's, it is as fine today as it was when I got it.

    The 24" M1 iMac hits low for my needs, and if I've waited this long then waiting for the M3 suits me too. But I was hoping it would be by the
    end of 2023. If it comes out first in an over-achieving Mini or Studio,
    I may go that route, but would like to see a 24" or 27" iMac version.

    OK... ...but why do you care if Apple releases yet more new models?

    Why are you waiting for the M3 aside from a vague sense that you'll
    "miss out" if you buy a new machine only to see a better one released in
    6 months?

    Clear enough above.

    Why are you waiting for the M3 aside from a vague sense that you'll
    "miss out" if you buy a new machine only to see a better one released in
    6 months?

    My primary aspiration is an iMac. The displays are very good and save
    space on the desk.

    iMac M1 released in 2021. If I get an M3 iMac (or Mini or Studio), I
    won't be worried about "better in 6 months" but I will be set up for the
    next 10 years.
