Even though Apple to begin trade-in for older Macs WWDC is just a week away, rumor is already circulating online. Despite Apple’s previous remark, the event is not likely to feature any major hardware announcements other than the highly anticipated AR/VR device.
Apple to begin trade-in for older Macs will begin accepting trade-ins for three new Mac models, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The fact that the trade-ins will begin on June 5, the same day that Apple hosts its trade-in for older Macs, hints at new Macs at the WWDC event, makes this even more intriguing.
Will new Macs be announced at WWDC?
Gurman Tweeted Apple will soon accept trade-ins of the Mac Studio, MacBook Air 13-inch, and MacBook Pro 13-inch with M2 processors.
Apple to begin trade-in for older Macs will start accepting trade-ins for the Mac Studio, the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 and the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 on June 5, the day of WWDC. This can be read in any way. Gurman wrote that “New Macs would be at WWDC.”
Gurman believes Apple will build a 15-inch MacBook Air as well as a 13-inch MacBook Air with a new Apple processor, a 13-inch MacBook Pro that is basic, a 24 inch iMac and a MacBook Pro equipped with Apple’s high-end silicon.
Gurman claims that the above types will be released this year or in early 2019.
The release date of two additional Mac Studio models is not known.
My sources have told me that some new machines would be displayed at the trade-in of older Macs, Apple to begin trade-in for older Macs hinting at new Macs for WWDC. There’s one big problem: The models that will be released in June are unlikely to have the new M3 processors. Gurman writes that they will use computers similar to the existing M2 models.
The developer logs show that a new MacBook Air has a larger screen, which confirms what he said. Rumours claim that the MacBook Air will have an eight-core processor (four high performance and four economy cores), a 10-core graphics chip, and 8GB of RAM.
Gurman, however, says that Apple won’t be showcasing new MacBooks featuring new M3 processors at WWDC. He says the new models are “in line” with current M2 processors.
Apple to begin trade-in for older Macs believes that increasing the number of MacBooks it sells will boost its business. Apple sold 40% more Macs, but earned only $7.2 billion in the quarter, down from $10.4 Billion in the previous quarter.
