AppleInsider's Marko Zivkovic today shared a list of alleged identifiers for future Mac models, which should roll out over the next year or so.
The report does not reveal anything too surprising, but it does serve as further evidence that Apple is seemingly working on new models of every Mac, including the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro.
Apple is...
I hope those deals hold on or get even better for a short time longer too - as one of them has my name on it; i just have to wait a little while longer for the stars to line up just right before i can pull the trigger…
I would have liked to experience the new Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra - but Apple didn’t seem to think the widely reported issues regarding the high pitch whining sound coming from some of them was important enough to address… so, M1 Max in a decked out laptop will have to make do… which also happens to remove my need/want to get a MackBook Air to support my times away from my work desk & Mac Studio…
Is discounting like this indicative of a new model and/or drop in price from apple themselves? Was planning to pull the trigger on a 14", but can wait if something is likely imminent...
According to MacRumors, something is always imminent.
Some people are saying this fall, which would be around one year after the 14" MBP, but nothing has indicated that the M computers are on a one year upgrade cycle.
You could wait until this fall, but if you do then you would be closer to the next expected release so you might as well wait.
Then there is the price. Based on the M2 Air the next 14" might be $200 more which means that there would be a $500 price difference between the M1 14" and the M2 14".
My bet is that M2-versions won't be this year, mostly due to the Mac Studio being relatively recent and the existing M2 variants aren't even in the Mac Mini.
I'm of course sitting on no information at all, but I am gambling on this idea since I bought a heavily discounted M14 with 32GB and 10-core (netonnet.no). If I bought it from Apple it would cost 30 999 NOK (3200 USD, tax included) while I got it for 24999 NOK (2580 USD) – sales tax in Norway is 25% btw :rolleyes:.

My guess is that the M2 14"/16" MBPs will launch sometime in mid-2023. But it'll be a pretty incremental refresh with the M2 Pro/Max chips and maybe a couple port changes. If the only reason you're holding off is for a new version, then I personally would just pull the trigger now if you need it.
I went all-in on a 14" M1 Pro MBP this year and plan to keep it for 5+ years, unless they come out with some super amazing feature which I think is unlikely tbh. The big jump was going from the Intel MBP to the M1 MBP. The M2, M3, etc. will be much more incremental gains compared to the initial M1 gains.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
