Apple to Release New Macs with the M3 Processor in October and the iPhone 15 Series in September

Apple is rumoured to have another event next month in addition to its upcoming iPhone 15 series announcement in September. With its M2 CPUs, Apple already unveiled the 15-inch MacBook Air model, a Mac Studio, and a Mac Pro in June. According to a recent rumour by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the tech company is preparing to introduce new Macs with M3 processors in October. Here is what we currently know.

 New Apple gadgets featuring M3 processors are expected to be released

Three new Apple gadgets featuring M3 processors are expected to be released. These might be a 13-inch MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, or an iMac. Compared to the models from the previous year, these are anticipated to perform faster. However, there has yet to be a confirmation from Apple, which makes sense, given how far away the event is. The details should still be taken with a grain of salt, and users are still urged.

According to his email, "the October launch could feature the first Macs with M3 chips" now that Apple has released the 15-inch MacBook Air and new M2 Ultra-based Macs.

According to a source that uses information from TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple intends to use the cutting-edge 2nd generation TSMC 3nm process for its most recent M3 and A17 Bionic chipsets. These potent processors are projected to be used in the 2023 releases of the iPhone 15 Pro and new Mac computers. Furthermore, it's been said that Apple will start manufacturing the M3 Pro or M3 Max CPUs in the first half of 2024.

Apple is working on an iPad Pro variant

There have been rumours that Apple is working on an iPad Pro variant with the same M3 Pro processor and an enormous 14.1-inch display. Since the iPhone 15 series will be released initially, it is too early to discuss these products. The newest Bionic A17 chip will likely be housed within the next iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max versions, whereas the ordinary iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus will use the Bionic A16 SoC.

The upcoming iPhones

The upcoming iPhones are anticipated to receive additional improvements in terms of design, battery life, and camera. According to Apple rumours, the basic models would have 48-megapixel back cameras, just like the iPhone 14 Pro models. This upgrade would considerably improve over the 12-megapixel sensors used in earlier iPhone models. However, the regular models might not have a LiDAR scanner or a telephoto lens for optical zoom, as these technologies are anticipated to be reserved for the higher-end models only.

It is believed that the Pro Max model would have a more noticeable camera module, holding periscope lenses that enable optical zoom of up to 5–6x and other supporting sensors. Last, 2023 iPhones should have a USB Type-C port and Dynamic Island functionality.
