Apple's M3 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air expected to launch in 2024

While Bloomberg's Mark Gurman had previously suggested a possible October launch for the M3 MacBook Air, he now believes that both devices are more likely to debut between next spring and summer "at the earliest."

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman shared insights into the development progress of these new MacBook models. He revealed that the 13-inch and 15-inch M3 MacBook Airs are currently in the engineering verification test (EVT) stage. On the other hand, the M3 MacBook Pros are further along in the process and are "nearing mass production."

According to Gurman, "The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips have reached the DVT stage — short for design validation test." This positions them for a release "between early and spring 2024."

It's worth noting that Apple released its 2023 MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in January of this year.
