And what can the M3 bring anyway?
But as we shall see, it all kind of makes sense in the end.
“Look at iPhones, for examplethere aren’t many big changes from one model to the next.

They mostly make minor tweaks and call it a ‘new’ product.”
M1, M2, and M3
This odd scheduling is happening for two reasons.
One is that Apple suffered pandemic-caused delays and shortages just like everyone else.

But the other reason is related to the differences between Apple’s M-series chips.
The M1 MacBook Pro is still a much more powerful computer than the M2 Air.
This has happened before.

Should You Upgrade to Mac M3?
The answer is, probably not.
The Apple Silicon Mac era is all new, and we can’t yet determine any patterns.
But Apple has been making iPhones for years, and we know all about that.
Every year, we get new iPhones with new chips.
And every year, they are a little bit faster.
In this case, the difference from one model to the next won’t be much.
The big question is, should owners of the M2 Air upgrade to the M3 Air this fall?
But there’s one wrinkle.
The answer, then, to “Should you upgrade to the M3 MacBook Air when it arrives?”
is “Wait and see.”
