N3E doesn't begin in volume until H2'23. This is based on multiple public annoucements by TSMC. The N3B you might be referring to is an expensive, low-yield process intended for iPhone.

And no, June 2024 is not early 2023. That is mid-2024.

I'm not sure why you insist on M3 when Apple has publicly announced M2. It's almost like you're living in your own world.

Because it's DumbAF to launch a groundbreaking product that needs every bit of efficiency and power it can get on what will be effectively a 4 year old node with GPU cores designed 4 years ago. Every one of these has an M3 in it. But the M3 isn't announced so they're just pretending and will "update" it before launch.

the first 182.5 days of 2024 is easily defensible as "early 2024" If it was going to be closer to janurary than june they'd take orders and money before December 31st, when small and large businesses are looking for write-offs.

This will ship March or later, I'd bet on June 30th though.

Volume production of TSMC 3nm chips started last year. There are hundreds of thousands of wafers worth of 3nm chips already produced. Some of those are going into this device. There's no doubt in my mind. The M2 is on its last legs, it's been out 50 weeks, it will not be launching in any brand new product in another 54 weeks.

Apple could have stated "Next Gen Apple Silicon." They did something similiar when iPad Air launched with A14 before iPhone 12.

We'll have to disagree.

Those N3B chips are slated for iPhone 15 Pro where extreme efficiency is important and the user isn't wearing a battery belt. If N3E chips were already available, Apple would have launched M3 at WWDC.
