Image claims to show the box for an upcoming MacBook Pro

As noted by MacRumors, an image allegedly showing the box for a new unreleased MacBook Pro has emerged on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

The picture, re-shared on X by ShrimpApplePro, shows what looks like Apple packaging featuring a MacBook Pro image with previously unseen wallpaper on the display. The wallpaper bears a passing resemblance to the one Apple used for the iPhone 15 Pro.

You should be dubious whether the pic is legit. As MacRumors notes, it’s unclear whether the image is legitimate or simply faked.

New MacBook Pros could be announced Monday. Apple will hold a prerecorded event dubbed “Scary Fast” on Monday, October 30, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Apple’s Events website features an Apple logo on a black background that morphs into the Mac Finder icon, confirming the event’s Mac focus.

The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) still isn’t convinced we’ll see updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros until early 2024. However, there are rumors that we’ll see the machines revved with M3 Pro and M3 Max processors along with a new 24-inch iMac at Monday’s event.
