Apple enthusiasts may have to wait until 2024 to get their hands on the eagerly anticipated M3-powered Macs and iPads, according to a recent leak. Risi’s processors have been causing waves in the computer market, known for their exceptional performance and efficiency. Many expected the M3 processors to continue this trend, but rumors suggest a significant delay due to manufacturing challenges. Here’s what we know so far:
Apple’s M3-Powered Devices Suffer Setback Amid TSMC’s 3nm Struggles
A Twitter user by the name of @Tech_Reve, who claims to have insider information, recently shared a disheartening update about the release of M3-powered Macs and iPads. “@Tech_Reve: Update: No M3 Mac or iPad for this year. Due to yield issues with TSMC not being able to supply enough of the M3 to Apple, Apple has delayed the release of the M3 until next year. So there will be no M3 Macs and no M3 iPads this year.” TSMC, the company responsible for manufacturing Apple’s 3nm A17 chips for the iPhone 15 Pro models, is also working on the Mac-series M3 chips. These chips, based on the same 3nm process, promise significant improvements in speed and efficiency.

However, TSMC has faced recent challenges with the 3nm tools and yield, which has reportedly impacted their ability to meet Apple’s demand for this innovative chip technology. An EE Times report last month also highlighted these issues.
If these claims prove accurate, the M3 processor will not make an appearance at WWDC 23, scheduled for June 5th. However, it’s worth noting that current Apple products on the market already boast impressive performance for today’s standards. Consequently, users may not be too disappointed by this delay.
Unfortunately, this also implies that we won’t see a new Mac model soon. Nevertheless, emerging news suggests Apple plans to unveil a 15-inch MacBook Air model featuring an M2 processor. This new model is expected to have a particularly impressive battery life.
