Apple is working on its next generation of Apple Silicon chips, and the company is expected to release M3 chips in the coming months as a successor to the current M2 lineup of processors.

The Cupertino-based tech giant is also expected to announce MacBook Air powered by the M3 chip in the coming months. But the most powerful devices are expected to make their way next year.

According to the latest report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple could launch a high-end MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, powered by the Apple M3 chipset, some next year.

In the Power On newsletter, he says, “It’s a sure thing that an M3 version of the Mac Mini is eventually coming,” but it is not imminent. He adds that the device isn’t expected to debut until late 2024, so it won’t be among the first series of M3-powered Macs. Similarly, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are expected to launch sometime in the middle of 2024.

The first lineup of Mac devices powered by the new M3 chip is expected to get launched as early as October this year, including a 13-inch MacBook Pro, a 13-inch MacBook Air, and a 24-inch iMac.

The upcoming Apple M3 processor is expected to be manufactured by TSMC using its 3nm process, offering significant performance and power efficiency compared to the current-generation M2 chips made using a 5nm process.
