HIGHLIGHTS * WWDC 2023 is set to begin on June 5. * Apple to take trade-ins for M2 MacBook Air and M2 MacBook Pro. * Mac Studio trade-in does not mean a successor is coming. We are just a week away from Apple’s annual developer conference WWDC. It is set to kick off on June 5 at Apple Park in California. It is the event where we will see the tech giant unveil its first-ever mixed-reality headset and new MacBook models alongside new software like iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10. But these are not the only things Apple has planned for the event as a new leak suggests it will also expand its trade-in program to cover more devices. M2 MacBook Air, M2 MacBook Pro Trade-in Details (Rumored) According to a Bloomberg report by Mark Gurman, Apple will start accepting trade-ins for the M2 MacBook Air, M2 MacBook Pro, and the Mac Studio on June 5. As you may have noticed, this is the same day WWDC 2023 is scheduled to get started which means the announcement will probably take place at the event. It means anyone interested in buying the new MacBooks tipped to get official next week should be able to do so through the trade-in program. In other words, an M2 MacBook Air or Pro owner will be able to trade his machine in exchange for the newer models. Apple will assess the condition of the device and offer a trade-in value that will get deducted from the pricing of the new MacBook model they want to buy. However, as mentioned by Twitter user Parker Ortolani, Apple is known to accept products for trade-ins even when it has not launched a new model. For example, the iPad mini (6th gen) is available for trade-in despite not having a successor yet. This is the reason one should not expect to see a new Mac Studio successor next week. As for what to expect at WWDC 2023, the biggest attraction at this year’s keynote will undoubtedly be the augmented reality headset. It will be the first time in a long time for Apple that it will venture into a completely new product category. It is said to run on the new xrOS operating system and will have a software development kit for developers. MacBook fans will get to see the first 15-inch MacBook Air alongside a new 13-inch MacBook Air and a 13-inch MacBook Pro. However, M3-powered MacBook models are expected to launch towards the end of the year. Apple is tipped to release new Macs at WWDC with processors in the same lineup of M2s. And as it happens every year, new operating system versions will be showcased which will be iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10 this year. Gurman: Apple to Begin Accepting Trade-Ins for Three New Mac Models on Day of WWDC Keynote Apple will begin accepting trade-ins of three new Mac models on June 5, the day of Apple's WWDC 2023 keynote event, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In a tweet shared earlier today, Gurman said that the "Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro, will become eligible for trade-in with Apple on Monday, June 5. Gurman is expecting new Mac hardware to be unveiled during Apple's keynote on June 5, including an all-new 15-inch MacBook Air model. "Read into that as you will," he added. Apple introduced the Mac Studio in May 2022, offering M1 Max and M1 Ultra chip configurations. Despite the launch of a range of Macs with the M2, M2 Pro, and M2 Max chips, Apple has not yet refreshed the Mac Studio. Gurman believes that two new Mac Studio models are in the works, but is unsure of when they will launch. He has previously cast doubt over the possibility of update being announced at WWDC, suggesting that Apple is more likely to wait until the M3 generation to update the Mac Studio as to avoid cannibalizing the Apple silicon Mac Pro. Even so, updated Mac Studio models with M2 Max and M2 Ultra chip options are not out of the question for WWDC. 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with the M3 chip are also rumored to be in development, but the first M3 Macs are not expected to launch until toward the end of the year. As such, Gurman's latest information about new Mac trade-ins does not necessarily that indicate direct successors for all of the aforementioned devices are on the immediate horizon. Apple hints at new Macs at WWDC with trade-in program expansion We’re just a week away from WWDC 2023, where Apple will announce iOS 17, its new Reality Pro headset, and more. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is prepping a behind-the-scenes change that further hints at its plans to unveil new Macs at the event next week… In a tweet on Saturday, Gurman revealed that Apple will start accepting trade-ins for several new Macs starting on June 5, the same day as the WWDC keynote is set to take place. On June 5, Apple will update its trade-in website to include the Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro. This means that owners of those Macs will soon be able to trade in their existing Mac for credit towards a new one. M2 MacBook Air users could, for example, trade in their 13-inch machine toward the 15-inch MacBook Air that Apple is rumored to announce at WWDC. The same goes for 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro users. As noted by Parker Ortolani on Twitter, however, there have been instances of Apple accepting trade-ins for a product even though there’s no direct successor to that product available. For example, you can trade in a sixth-generation iPad mini, even though there is no seventh-generation iPad mini available. This is likely the case with the Mac Studio. We aren’t expecting Apple to announce a new Mac Studio at WWDC this year. The Mac Studio, however, is powered by Apple’s previous-generation M1 chips, so this will allow customers to trade in towards an M2-powered machine like a 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro or Mac mini. Faqs 1) Apples to accept M2 MacBook models for trade-in starting June 5: Likely to launch new Macs at WWDC.Details? Ans) Apple’s biggest event of this year is just a few days away, where the Cupertino tech giant is reported to unveil its first XR headset and also showcase iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and watchOS 10. There are also speculations that the company will also announce next-generation Apple Silicon-powered Macs at WWDC 2023 keynote. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg has tweeted that Apple will start accepting existing models like the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro under the trade-in program starting June 5, hinting at the imminent launch of the next-generation Macs, possibly with the new M3 chip at WWDC 2023. According to various reports including one from Gurman, Apple is likely to unveil at least three new Macs at its developers’ conference, which could include a 15-inch MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac Pro. Apple’s first 15-inch MacBook Air is also expected to go official at WWDC 2023. It is said to boast a design similar to the M2 MacBook Air, and it is rumoured to feature MagSafe charging, a couple of USB Type-C ports, and be powered by an Apple M2 processor. The base model of the 15-inch MacBook Air is likely to ship with at least 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. Similarly, the iMac is also expected to receive a specs bump and be powered by the same M2 processor as the MacBook Air and is likely to be available in multiple colour options just like its predecessor. Lastly, the company is expected to announce the new Mac Pro, which is speculated to be the most powerful Mac with Apple Silicon, offering support for easy memory and storage upgrades. 2) Apple to expand trade-in program for new Macs at WWDC, report says.Details? Ans) Apple will begin accepting trade-ins for three new Mac models on June 5, the day of the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The three eligible models are the Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, and 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro. The trade-in program is a way for Apple customers to get credit towards the purchase of a new Mac or any other Apple device. The amount of credit you receive will depend on the condition of your old device. Apple is set to host its WWDC 2023 on June 5. The company is expected to make several major announcements at the event including the launch of its first-ever mixed reality headset dubbed as Reality Pro by many rumour reports. The launch would mark Apple’s entry into the mixed reality space and give a tough fight to Meta, Samsung, and Google.
