Marc Gurman: Apple will accept trade-ins for M2 laptops and M1 Ultra on WWDC

[JPack]

If Apple releases an M2 MBA in June, what will they do when the M3 is ready later in the year ?
- update the model less than 6 months after its introduction? That makes no sense and will only piss people off.
- wait for 6 months before updating the whole the MBA line? That would be awkward as the M3 will be tailored for ultrabooks.
- update the lower-end model only? This makes even less sense as the larger-screen model would become the slower model.
Apple has never done anything of the sort. If they didn't care about relative product positioning, we would know it.

I'll eat my hat if Apple released an M2 MBA in June. They just have no reason to, and plenty of reasons no to. It's not as if the MBA line was in great danger or anything.

Have you decided what type of hat you’ll be consuming?

He has no point. Again, why would Apple put an M2 in the VR device slated to be announced at WWDC if the M3 is already ready for the 15" MBA announcement? Makes no sense.

So all of us had a point...you didnt...its ok, you dreamed also for an N3 based devices like some of us

So many fallacies in this thread.

Annual M-series cadence that matches A-series, regardless of cost and R&D resources.
M3 must be ready. TSMC has said N3E doesn't enter production until H2'23.
"Some" notebooks = more than one.

Again, you had no point. You said if M3 was ready, they would still put an M2 in the Vision Pro. Made no sense when you said it and it makes no sense now.

You’re wrong on the “some” English definition and Gurman was clearly wrong in his article saying “some” laptops will be unveiled. It was one laptop.

Also, speculation does not mean believe.

Nothing in the Mac hardware keynote was a surprise to me. No, I did not believe M3 would be unveiled at WWDC after all the rumors. Everything was speculation.

Don’t be surprised if Apple Silicon does have one year update cadence with some years off cycle due to node developments. We don’t have enough cycles yet to make conclusions.

See above. You’re severely confused.
