    New Desktop Mac on the Horizon?

    What’s even more intriguing is that Apple seems to be testing two new desktop Macs, code-named Mac 14,13 and Mac 14,14, Rumored to be running on the M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips.

    The M2 Max chip, with its 12-core CPU, 30-core GPU, and support for up to 96GB of memory, already had us excited. But now, with the M2 Ultra in the mix, it’s hard to contain our enthusiasm.

    WWDC 2023: The Big Reveal?

    With the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 just around the corner – scheduled from June 5 to June 9 – it’s only natural to wonder if Apple plans to unveil the M2 Ultra and M2 Max chips during the event.
