Apple is working on a MacBook Air and an iMac with an M3 chip built using the more efficient 3-nanometer manufacturing process, according to a report from Bloombergby Mark Gurman. While it’s unclear when the two updated devices might launch, Gurman expects the M3 chip to arrive later this year or early next year.
Gurman first hinted at this in June of last year, noting that Apple is working on an M3-equipped 13-inch MacBook Air, a 15-inch MacBook Air, and a new iMac. At the time, he added that the M3 chip could appear this year, but that hasn’t happened yet.
Instead, Apple included the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips with the MacBook Pro lineup it announced earlier this month, and also added an M2 Pro chip to the Mac Mini. These chips are based on a second-generation 5nm process, which is still an upgrade to the standard 5nm process Apple uses to make its M1 chips.
