Apple Testing New Desktop With M3 Chip [Report]

Apple is testing a new desktop with a third generation M-series chip, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Last week, the site revealed that Apple is testing at least nine new Mac models with four different M2-based chips. Those devices include a new MacBook Air, entry-level MacBook Pro, Mac mini, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, and a Mac Pro.

In his PowerOn newsletter, Gurman says he's now heard that an M3 desktop computer is also in development.


Since then, I’ve heard that the M2 chips aren’t the only ones in testing within Apple. And if you’re waiting for a new iMac, I’m hearing an M3 version of that desktop is already in the works—though I imagine it won’t launch until the end of next year at the earliest. Also, for those asking, I still think an iMac Pro is coming. It just won’t be anytime soon.

We're hopeful that Apple will unveil some of this new hardware at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. The company is also expected to unveil iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 16, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9 at the event.
