Apple enthusiasts, get ready for some exciting news! According to the latest updates from Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Apple is gearing up to unveil its first-ever M3 Apple Silicon Macs in October.
But that's not all! In September, we can expect the grand unveiling of the much-anticipated iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and the new Apple Watch Ultra.
Following the September event, Apple has its eyes set on October, where it is speculated to introduce a range of new Macs powered by the M3 chip.
Among the potential stars of this lineup are the M3 iMac, M3 13-inch MacBook Air, and M3 MacBook Pro models. These new devices promise to bring incredible performance and efficiency to Apple's computing lineup.
The M3 chip is expected to carry forward similar core counts as its predecessor, the M2 chip. However, Apple has worked magic to enhance the chip's overall performance and efficiency by shifting to a new 3-nanometer silicon fabrication process.
This development means users can expect a seamless and lightning-fast computing experience with the upcoming M3-powered Macs.
You might wonder why Apple is launching the M3 Macs soon after the M2 cycle. Well, rumor has it that supply chain issues caused delays in the latter parts of the M2 lineup.
As a result, Apple is making up for lost time and is eager to bring the M3 MacBook Air into the spotlight as soon as October. However, we'll have to exercise some patience for those eyeing the M3 updates on MacBook Pro and Mac Studio.
There's still some uncertainty surrounding how Apple will announce the new Macs. Will there be an October event to showcase these groundbreaking devices? Or will Apple opt for a press release-style announcement? We don't have a definitive answer yet, but a formal event for such a significant Mac launch would not be surprising.
While we're on the subject of new Apple devices, it's worth noting that Apple has some exciting plans for its iPad lineup too. The new iPad Pro models featuring OLED displays are scheduled for a 2024 release, promising to deliver stunning visuals and improved user experience.
Moreover, a new iPad Air model with an updated M3 chip might be hitting the shelves this fall. The current-generation iPad Air is still powered by the M1 chip, making it ripe for an upgrade.

Before we conclude, let's take a sneak peek into the future of Mac computing. Gurman's newsletter hints at the development of a new 30-inch iMac, possibly making its debut as early as 2024.
With the potential for an even larger and more powerful display, this future iMac could be a game-changer for creative professionals and tech enthusiasts.
