Apple’s AR/VR headsetis set to dominateApple’s 2023: according to well-informed Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the focus on what Apple hopes will be its next killer product means key staff are being borrowed from other departments to work on its hardware and software.
Despite this, however, we should see some fun new Macs this year including faster MacBook Pros, a larger MacBook Air and possibly a new Mac Pro too.
According to Gurman, Apple now plans to reveal the headset – possibly called Reality Pro and running an OS called xrOS – well before its annual WWDC conference this summer. Other hardware releases will be spread throughout 2023.
New Macs in 2023: what to expect
The next upgrade to the speedyMacBook Proswill be useful if unsurprising: the current14- and 16-inch MacBook Prowill be available with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, with the rest of their specs largely unchanged. That’s not a huge shock: Apple tends to speed-bump its pro models every year without making massive changes to their designs or expandability.
If you’re thinking of buying aniMac Probut were waiting for a newer model, Gurman says he’ll be “surprised” if that makes it to the Apple Store this year: the next speed-bump for the iMac isn’t expected until the M3 chip is ready, which probably won’t be until at least late 2023 or early 2024.iPadsaren’t expected to get any serious updates this year either, and neither is theApple Watch: Gurman says to expect “minor performance boosts” and not much else.
