The refurbished models undergo a thorough refurbishment process and are eligible for AppleCare+ with the same return period as new devices. Additional configurations are available, and customers should check back often for availability.
Concerns are being raised about the M3 Pro MacBook Pro due to changes in core counts and reduced memory bandwidth compared to the previous M2 Pro model. Early Geekbench scores show disappointing performance results, with the M3 Pro being 28% slower than the M3 Max. Reviews confirm that while the M3 Pro is an improvement over the M2 Pro, it doesn't compare as well to the Max model. Prices remain the same, leading to speculation that the M3 Pro is primarily meant to push people towards the more expensive M3 Max.
Apple has unveiled upgraded models of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, featuring the M3 Pro and M3 Max processors. The new laptops come in a new "space black" color and offer improved performance and configurability. The M3 Max MacBook Pro can be ordered with up to 128GB of RAM, a new high for Apple's laptops. The machines also boast enhanced graphics capabilities, including hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Preorders are available now, with M3 Pro models shipping on November 7th and M3 Max models arriving later in November.
Apple is expected to launch two new MacBook Pro laptops with the next generation M3 Pro and M3 Max Apple Silicon chipsets. However, for most consumers, the existing M2 MacBook Air or M2 MacBook Pro already offer more than enough power. The M3 Pro and M3 Max variants will likely be overkill for the majority of users. Apple is taking the unusual step of launching the professionally focused M3 Pro and M3 Max laptops ahead of the more consumer-focused M3 MacBook Air. The new MacBook Pro laptops may not go on sale for another month and could be limited to a few territories to reduce demand.
Apple's upcoming M3 Pro, M3 Max, and M3 Ultra chips are expected to offer more CPU and GPU cores, with configurations ranging from 10 to 32 CPU cores and 16 to 80 GPU cores. The standard M3 chip will have the same core configuration as the M2 chip, while the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips are set to debut in 2024. Apple is also reportedly testing MacBook Pro models with higher memory options, and the first Macs with the M3 chip are expected to launch in October.
Apple is reportedly working on a new iMac model with a 30-inch display, which will likely feature a powerful version of the Apple Silicon. The exact specifications are not known, but it may incorporate the M3 Pro or M3 Max options. It is unclear if it will use mini-LED technology or an IPS LCD panel. The iMac Pro had user-replaceable RAM, but the 30-inch model will likely not. Apple is also working on smaller screen desktops with a 24-inch screen.
The rumored 14.1-inch iPad Pro may feature the M3 Pro chipset, but due to space and thermal constraints, only the base version with increased efficiency cores may be used. The M3 Pro features a 12-core CPU, with six performance and six power-efficiency cores. The lack of a fan in the tablet may result in lower performance, but access to extra CPU and GPU cores. However, nothing is confirmed yet.
Apple is reportedly testing an M3 Pro chipset with a 12-core processor and 18-core GPU, which is expected to be released next year. The M3 line is expected to use TSMC's 3nm node process, accounting for the increase in core density. The chip was spotted configured with 36GB of RAM, and an even split between high-performance and efficiency cores. Before the M3 Pro, Apple needs to release the standard M3 chip, which is expected to arrive by the end of the year or early next year.
