The headline data is very curious, and it may even seem normal to us. We all think that these last years before the era of the Apple silicon, Apple had abandoned its computers a bit. But there is a fact that dismantles this theory.
In this fourth quarter of 2022 that is already ending, those of Cupertino have not launched any new Mac. Well it turns out that hace 22 años that this did not happen. Since 2001, Apple has always released a new computer model before the end of the year, which means that we have seen a new Mac in October, November or December every year of the XNUMXst century.
The delay in the launch of the new MacBook Pro and perhaps a Mac Pro has meant that this fourth quarter of the year that is ending Apple has not presented any new computer model. This breaks the streak of 22 years in a row launching a Mac to the market in the fall of each year.
Since in 2001 Apple launched its iBook G3, Apple has always introduced a new computer model before the end of each year. There have been 22 in a row.
And this 2022 broke the tradition, since the last Mac presented by Apple was the current one Macbook Air M2, last July. Well tomorrow this year ends, so until we see a new Mac appear, this will be one of the longest stretches of time without Apple releasing a new Mac.
And not for lack of desire from Apple. This is due to the lack of components, since Apple planned to launch the next-generation MacBook Pro last June to coincide with WWDC 2022. But due to component supply problems in the production chain, its launch was first delayed to last October, and finally there has been a new delay until the month of March of the 2023.
