Apple May Introduce MacBook Pro Models With The M3 SoC To Make Up For The M2’s Limited Power, But Volume Production May Be Low, Says Analyst

According to recent reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will refresh its entire iPad lineup next year. At this stage, it is unclear which iPad models will be the first to receive upgrades. Prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will first announce the OLED iPad Pro next year. It is now being reported that Apple will begin OLED panel production next year.

Valve has just unveiled its Steam Deck OLED handheld console which comes as a refresh of the original Steam Deck, featuring an OLED screen, better connectivity, better storage functionality & most importantly, a brand new AMD 6nm SOC known as Sephiroth.

In recent years, Apple has been making more and more efforts to strengthen its foothold in the Indian smartphone market. It has also tapped into the ‘Make in India' initiative by establishing manufacturing of not only older iPhones but newer models such as iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 in the country. And now, the Cupertino-based tech giant is reportedly taking another giant step towards increasing its production capacity in India by kicking the new product introduction (NPI) of the iPhone 17 in the second half of 2025. Let us take a closer look.

Qualcomm recently posted its fourth-quarter earnings, and despite a slowing smartphone market, the San Diego firm managed to beat expectations. While the company might have narrowly avoided a pummeling in this three-month period, there are a myriad of challenges that await the chipset maker going into 2024, with Huawei likely on the top of that list. Fortunately, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon stated in the earnings call that these events and the emergence of another player will not affect its relationship with other smartphone brands in China.

Apple announced its latest M3 chip at its 'Scary Fast' event earlier this week. The company introduced three variants of the chips designed for each market segment. In comparison, the base chips are yet to arrive on the forthcoming MacBook Air models. However, the company made the 13-inch MacBook Pro redundant by offering the standard M3 chip with the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Additionally, the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro also poses a threat to the 15-inch MacBook Air.

In an incident yesterday, October 31, that rocked the Indian political establishment, at least nine political leaders from opposition parties received a shocking alert on their iPhones warning them of "state-sponsored attackers trying to remotely compromise” their device. It raised an alarm among leaders as they posted screenshots of the alerts on their X accounts, seeking clarification for the same. The government also raised a query with the iPhone maker to share more details about the alerts and to work closely as an investigation is conducted.

It is the first time that Apple has announced not one, not two, but a total of three chipsets at its October 30 ‘Scary Fast’ event, with the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max the latest stars of the show. All three have been mass produced on the cutting-edge 3nm architecture, making them the first family of chips to be fabricated on the next-generation manufacturing process. With this improved technology, Apple is not only able to outfit each M3 member with higher CPU and GPU cores but also give them advanced technologies, which we will be talking about in-depth here, so let us get started.

Apple hosted its online streaming launch event dubbed “Scary Fast” today, that mainly focused on the all-new Macs. In the wake of a lot of speculation and rumours, the new generation of MacBook Pro has finally been revealed with upgraded chipsets, new features, and more.

The Meta Quest 3 launched on October 10, putting it several months ahead of the Apple Vision Pro, which is slated to arrive early next year but will only be available through an appointment system. Regardless of how it arrives for consumers and how difficult it will be to procure the ludicrously expensive AR headset, one analyst believes that Apple’s premium offering is up three years compared to what Meta has produced.

The iPhone 15 lineup has been out for about a month, so you know what that means: rumors about next-gen iPhones.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 "offers minor refinements over the last generation," we found in our review, but if you're waiting for the third-gen smartwatch to take your tracking up a notch, it may not happen until 2025.

Apple enthusiasts may soon have a reason to celebrate, as a new leak hints at the return of the 12-inch MacBook in a more budget-friendly avatar. The 12-inch Macbook was discontinued in 2019 after introducing it in 2015 as the MacBook Air took its place. However, users have been speculating for a while whether Apple plans to introduce cheaper MacBooks that could provide a more affordable alternative to their existing lineup.
