According to an Apple leaker on Twitter, the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro will have ‘better speeds, better battery life, and less heat.’
While we recommend purchasing a new MacBook Pro right now because prices are likely to be the lowest they will ever be, a new rumor may convince you to wait a little longer. The upcoming 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro’s performance boost will be “worth the wait,” according to LeaksApple Pro.
That’s good news after Apple decided to delay the release that was supposed to happen this fall. According to Leaks Apple Pro, the 2023 update will bring new M2 Pro and Max processors with “better speeds, better battery life, and less heat.” That’s not particularly novel, but according to the leaker, it “sounds like a pretty nice product update” that “will be ‘worth the wait.'”
Hearing the new 14/16-inch MBP’s performance will be “worth the wait”.
Better speeds, better battery life, less heat… sounds like a pretty nice product update for me. No design or I/O changes though.
To be honest, we’d be surprised if the update didn’t result in faster speeds. The suggestion of improved battery life is intriguing, as the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with the M2 processor did not bring any battery improvements. The 14-inch MacBook Pro currently has a battery life of 17 hours, while the 16-inch has a battery life of 21 hours. That’s already the longest battery life available in a Mac laptop.
According to LeaksApplePro, there will most likely be no “design or I/O changes.” Apple revamped the MacBook Pro in 2021 with a new design and a slew of ports, so major changes are unlikely for several years.

ApplePro’s tweet doesn’t make us reconsider our recommendation to buy a MacBook Pro now, while prices are low. We still believe that unless you’re creating 3D content, making videos, writing apps, or doing other tasks that tax the CPU, you won’t notice the increased performance of the 2023 MacBook Pro models. If you don’t need a new Mac right now, it appears that you’ll be rewarded for your patience.
