In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips have reached the DVT (design validation test) stage. He thinks they’ll be released between early and spring 2024.
However, Gurman says that those waiting for a new MacBook Air will have to be patient. He says the 13-inch and 15-inch M3 models have just reached the EVT (engineering verification test) stage. This would put them on schedule for between spring and summer of next year at the earliest.
The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) thinks Gurman is spot on — as he usually is. I also think that, despite some rumors, that we won’t see new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with more efficient mini-LED displays this year. Such an improvement would come with the spring MB Pro revamp.
