I've seen that on other sites like MacRumors too, as well as a gillion other predictions/guesses. Once upon a time some of the guessers were fairly accurate, but they probably had credible sources within Apple back then. However, Apple seems to have closed the doors on most of the leaks now, so guys like Kuo and Gurman are no longer reliable. Neither of those guys, nor anyone else, predicted the Mac Studio. Some thought there would be a high end Mac mini with an M1 Pro or Max, but they were all clueless about the new Studio. About 24 hours before the event someone released a fairly accurate rendering of the Studio, but they didn't say enough about it to make it seem likely, but perhaps that person had a credible source. But over all, the past 2 or 3 years we have seen far more incorrect guesses than true ones. So I place absolutely no value in the click-bait rumor mill any more.

I will wait until Fall to see if we get a bump up on the Mac mini or MacBook Air, or perhaps a decent upgrade to either, then get one of them even if they aren't updated at all. My old 2014 MacBook Pro is too old to keep up any more, so I can't wait until 2023, especially since I don't have any faith in the rumors.
