Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman: Four New MacBooks Scheduled for 2024 Launch

Four new M3-powered MacBook models are on track for a 2024 launch, reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman’s comments came in his latest “Power On” newsletter.

Gurman said that new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips have now reached design validation testing (DVT), meaning that the devices are nearing mass production.

Gurman believes that the new machines are likely to launch between early 2024 and the spring, which means the release timeframe will mirror the release time frame in which the M2 Pro and ‌M2‌ Max MacBook Pro models launched earlier this year.

New 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models powered by an M3 chip have reportedly reached engineering verification testing (EVT), an earlier production testing phase on prototype devices. Gurman says this puts the new MacBook Air models on schedule for a spring/summer launch in 2024 at the earliest, also mirroring the time frame of the current MacBook Air launches that took place at WWDC in June 2022 and 2023.
