The first new Apple product of 2023

Apple’s unveiling in January is a rarity. At the same time, not in 22 years has Apple not introduced new Macs in the last quarter of the year – which it did in 2022. It seems that the Macs that were supposed to appear at the end of last year will still be shown tomorrow. Not at an Apple event with all the trimmings, but through a press release.

Keep an eye on the Apple newsroom tomorrow 😏

The new Apple product that will be presented on January 17 is likely to be a new MacBook Pro (14 and 16 inches). Apple registered this MacBook Pro in a Canadian database on January 11, with model number A2779, and no Mac with this model number is currently in the market. This isn’t the first time an Apple product has leaked via such mandatory registration.

A new MacBook Pro is imminent (Apple has an announcement tomorrow — with press briefings later this week and the ban lifted next Monday). The new Macs arriving early this year were reported here in October https://t.co/P34OdoMRgZhttps://t.co/9JlQ0ueBO1
