Then again, several Windows laptops such as Microsoft Surfacebooks also come with soldered RAM, so it isn't just Apple doing it.Ī few Chinese modders discovered a rather simple workaround for the soldered parts conundrum on their M1 Mac Mini. The same holds for Apple's newly-released M1 MacBooks and Mac Mini. We also know that Apple has developed the next iMac on the same timeline as the M3 chip, so I'd expect it to be one of the company's first M3-based machines.MacBooks have been long reviled for their soldered components, which makes upgrading any storage/memory component virtually impossible.
We already know the Mac Pro will include the M2 Ultra, which will provide up to 24 CPU cores, 76 graphics cores and the ability to top out the machine with at least 192 gigabytes of memory. The big remaining question is which processors these new Macs will run on. Those three models are likely to be the first 15-inch MacBook Air (codenamed J515), the first Mac Pro with homegrown Apple chips (J180) and an update to the 13-inch MacBook Air (J513). Still, this is a great development for anyone disappointed that Apple's all-in-one desktop hasn't been updated in nearly two years.Īside from the iMac, Apple is scheduled to launch about three new Macs between late spring and summer, I'm told. That means it won't ship until the second half of the year at the earliest. While development of the new iMacs - codenamed J433 and J434 - has reached a late stage, it's not expected to go into mass production for at least three months. The computer will see some of its internal components relocated and redesigned, and the manufacturing process for attaching the iMac's stand is different. There also will be some behind-the-scenes changes. The new iMacs will, of course, be more powerful - with a new M-series chip to replace the M1. The versions being tested also come in the same colors as the current iMac, a palette that includes blue, silver, pink and orange. The next iMac will continue to come in the same 24-inch screen size as the current model, which was announced in April 2021. From the report: Apple's next iMac desktop is at an advanced stage of development called engineering validation testing, or EVT, and the company is conducting production tests of the machine. According to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is readying a new batch of Macs to launch "between late spring and summer." This includes a 15-inch MacBook Air and a new 24-inch iMac.
