Apple unlikely to release new MacBooks this year, according to rumors that have gained momentum over the past few days. The information goes against previous reports that the Cupertino-based company was preparing to unveil news about M3-powered devices later this year.

The M3-powered MacBook will be Apple’s first mass-produced product with a chipset designed for the North American manufacturer’s devices. However, the latest information indicates that consumers who have been waiting for access to the novelty will have to wait a little longer for this to become a reality.

An insider known as Revegnus has revealed that performance issues appear to be the main reason why MacBooks won’t be released this year if Apple confirms the rumors. The Tawian company responsible for the production of the M3. will not be able to supply an adequate supply of custom silicon to Apple..

For this reason, there are no new MacBook models this year, including the 13-inch Touch Bar model. However, it’s important to note that plans could change if Apple and TSMC manage to resolve the issue in time to bring the devices to consumers.

The iPad launch is also starting to be at risk

Over the past few years, Apple has made it a habit to release the iPad just a few months after the announcement of new MacBooks. If all goes as expected, the timeline has already indicated that iPads won’t arrive until 2024.

With the news that no MacBooks will be released this year, Apple needs to make some decisions. The first is to release the iPad earlier than originally planned, so as not to spend the year almost in vain. The second is to meet the launch schedule and exit in 2023 without a new MacBook or iPad.

Rumor has it that, as is the case with all new Apple products, the company is making changes to the new iPads. This is because some leaks indicate that they will have OLED technology in the next version. Also planned are 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros, both with the M3 chipset.
