While virtual and augmented reality glasses will be the protagonists of WWDC 2023, Apple also plans to announce “different” Macs at its Developers Conference, according to Mark Gurman of bloomberg, just a few hours ago. Now the journalist has offered more details on the models we might see announced next Monday, noting that at least there will be two computers with M2 ultra and M2 Max chips.
Gurman, in particular, claims that Apple is testing two Macs with an internal name “Mac 14.13” and “Mac 14.14”. One of them has an M2 Max chip with a high-performance octa-core processor and four efficient cores, as well as a 30-core GPU and 96 GB of RAM. The second device, on the other hand, has an M2 Ultra chip with a 24-core processor. Also with a 60-core GPU with different RAM configurations: 64, 128 or 192 GB.
The journalist, yes, does not disclose which models Apple will update with the M2 Ultra and M2 Max chips. However, it is most likely two stationary computerssince the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro already have these processors.
Will we see a new Mac Pro and a new Mac Studio at WWDC?
One of the models that Apple may announce during WWDC 2023 is MacStudio. This device debuted last year with the M1 Max chip, so it makes sense for Apple to update it with new processors. However, some rumors claim that the company has no plans to update this model as its specifications may be very similar to the Mac Pro.
In fact, the Mac Pro could be another team that Apple will announce during WWDC in 2023. However, the above source ensures that this computer has an internal name of “Mac 14.8”. Therefore, the models that Gurman highlights can be completely different. According to previous rumors, Apple is also working on a more powerful iMac Pro than current models, but unfortunately there are no details on that yet.
In addition to these teams, the company may also announce during WWDC a new MacBook Air 15″. This hardware will include an M2 or M2 Pro chip and will feature a similar design to the M2 model, including a screen notch and flatter bezels.
