Apple will release a new, faster processor at some point. The new iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the best iPhone ever made. Tim thinks we will all love them.
Money please…
Money please…
Why oh why?!
That would kill one of the most succesful thread on this forum. 10 years old, over 19 000 posts and still going strong.
That thread alone is like 50% of this forums take home.
There is not going to be an M2 iMac. They are going straight to M3.
Apple has had M3 prototypes for a while, and of course they have put those in various Macs ...
I'm sure there are testing a M3 Mac Mine, and eventually they'll test one with a M4.
Also have other insider scoop: Apple is testing an iPad Pro with a M3, and I heard that even they may be testing a Macbook Air with the same processor!

As soon as they announce it ....BMW will sue them for trademark infringement. You heard it here first.
I heard Apple may be testing an iPhone with an A17 cpu. Can anyone confirm?
2024 sounds like forever to wait for a m3 mac mini
though i'm still liking my core i7 mini
thinking a m2 mini will take care of what i need if i upgrade
just hope they bring back space grey

Picked up a base MM to use as an entertainment hub for our TV. Does what it's supposed to... nothing more, nothing less. $499 seemed a decent price from BB, plus as a totaltech member I get "free" apple+. Matched it with a magic touchpad and keyboard and its perfect. Small package, powerful enough to do what I need. I wouldn't benefit from an M3 chip but glad to see they are forward thinking.
Yea it needs a redesign, the case is like 75% air. They can make the mini, well MINI but won’t.
Yes but Apple seems to have burned all of Gurman and especially Prosser’s sources. The only rumors anymore seem to come out of the supply chain directly from Chinese and other Asian sources.
Macrumors themselves can usually tell us when new devices are coming based on the same web server logs.
Thought the space was needed for the mini Pro's fan: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/m2-pro-mac-mini-teardown-via-macstadium.2378200/
Expect to be underwhelmed… 😉
My M2 Pro Mac Mini kicks ass! 😉
I am using a 2018 Intel i7 with 64 GB of OWC ram, an Apple 2TB SSD and 10Gb ethernet acquired in 2020 as a file server with attached OWC 4 drive 32TB Raid. I have a seven port 10Gb ethernet hub and data transfers are excellent on the network. Apple stopped this model in January 2023 (along with the Intel Mac Pro) and they have to support it for at least three more years for both the OS and mechanically. I have extended Apple care to annually so it should work for many more years. Maybe the M3 or M4 mini might support more memory as this mini shows over 55Gb of the ram used as cache when doing major TB data transfers.
Because the Minis currently start at $599 and the Studios start at $1999? Different market niches.
Apple will release M4 without even testing it once
Gurman is wrong. All M3 Macs will be unveiled on this October.
- Macbook Air (I don't know is they will launch both 13" and 15" with M3, keeping the 15" M2 as a cheaper version, or launching the 13" M3 MacBook Air only)
- MacBook Pro M3
- iMac
- Mac Mini
