Three new Mac SKUs have been registered within the Eurasian Financial Database forward of a rumored ‘Spring’ occasion, including further weight to current rumors that the following technology of Apple silicon might be launched within the coming weeks – probably at an occasion on or round March 8.
The submitting was noticed by Consomac, which notes that the registration does not give us a lot details about the merchandise, although a number of speculations might be made.
