Major leak reveals every secret Mac Apple is working on

At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in early June, the focus was almost entirely on the company’s Vision Pro headset. But Apple has plenty more up its sleeve, according to a new report, which has spilled the beans on every single Mac we can expect to see in the coming months.

The report comes from journalist Mark Gurman, who accurately predicted a plethora of details about the Vision Pro before it was announced. Now, he says Apple has a few surprise Mac announcements in store for late 2023 or early 2024.

Among his list of upcoming Macs, the most interesting is perhaps a large-scale iMac that Gurman claims will have a display “over 30 inches” across. This seems to be a reference to either an iMac Pro or a larger companion to the 24-inch iMac.

Such a device has been rumored ever since the iMac Pro was discontinued in 2021. When Apple unveiled the 24-inch iMac later that year – and the 27-inch iMac was ditched in 2022 — it was assumed that an outsized version would be coming soon. That never happened, and there were suggestions that it might never arrive. But according to Gurman, a bulkier iMac for people who want more screen space could finally be in the cards.

Unsurprisingly, the report notes that the 24-inch iMac could also receive an upgrade in 2023, which should help bring up to speed a device that hasn’t seen an update since 2021 and still runs on an Apple M1 chip. There are several ways the iMac needs to be refreshed, so this could be a chance for Apple to give it a fresh lick of paint.

Elsewhere, Gurman stated that the entire MacBook line would see new models released. There are two MacBook Air models in the works, he claimed, as well as a 13-inch MacBook Pro that will get an M3 chip.

The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops will also be updated to come with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. These could provide a sizeable speed boost over the existing M2 Pro and M2 Max, as the M3 generation is expected to be a huge step up in terms of performance.

A multitude of updates

Aside from its Mac lineup, Apple is also set to bring forth “revamped iPad Pros with OLED screens,” Gurman said, as well as “a new iPad Air (codenamed J507) to replace the current M1-based model.”

Finally, we can expect to see the usual iPhone and Apple Watch upgrades, with the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9 due for September, alongside a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra. New versions of the AirPods Pro and Apple TV, as well as “new home equipment such as smart displays,” are said to be in “early development.”

That all makes this a substantial leak from Gurman and suggests there will be plenty for Apple fans to look forward to over the coming months. With the second-generation Vision Pro headset set for 2025, there will be a lot to absorb before then.

Apple faces challenges with bringing OLED to the MacBook Air

A report from Korean outlet The Elec suggests the OLED MacBook Air that Apple was allegedly planning to release in 2027 could face significant delays. While progress for the OLED MacBook Pro seems to be going smoothly, the price increase caused by the new display technology is a much bigger problem for the budget MacBook Air models.

One of the biggest selling points of the MacBook Air is its lower price, making it great for first-time Mac buyers, students, and anyone else who doesn't expressly need the power of a Pro. While price increases are a natural part of the tech industry, the slightly disappointing sales of the 2024 OLED iPad Pro suggest that a new display simply isn't enough of an incentive for consumers to justify a higher price tag.

Is the M4 Mac mini Apple’s first true gaming PC?
Mac Mini with M4

The M4 Mac mini made its big splash last week. Among the normal Apple marketing content, however, I noticed something I'd never seen before. It's the image above that I'm talking about -- and by now, you've probably noticed the same thing that caught my eye. The PS5 controller.

Sure, you've always been able to connect up a game controller and use it for Mac gaming, but never have I seen it promoted by Apple itself. By putting this so forward in the marketing materials, Apple is not-so-subtly implying that these are PCs that are at least to some degree built for gaming. Is this Apple's first true attempt at taking a real step into the world of PC gaming? There's more evidence than you might think.

Leaked M4 MacBook Pro benchmarks reveal incredible performance
MacBook Pro with M4

The M4 MacBook Pros launched this week with plenty to talk about. Performance, however, wasn't the focus of all the attention. Apple didn't provide many direct comparisons of how much more powerful the M4 MacBook Pro is over the previous generation of chips.

But now some leaked benchmarks for the M4 series have been put online, and they reveal just how significant of an uplift the M4 Max and M4 Pro bring. Over on X (formerly Twitter) user James Atkinson discovered some results from a Geekbench 6 benchmark for the M4 Max chip, which revealed 4,060 single-core and 26,675 multi-core scores.
