Two unknown Macs appeared in the usage statistics from Steam for the month of November. Valve’s game store conducts a monthly survey – optional and anonymous – of its users, which serves as a basis for developing improvements. Steam thus collects all kinds of information regarding Macs, OS version, RAM volume, chip, etc.
However, it turns out that in the November delivery, two Macs unknown to the battalion appeared: Mac14.6 and Mac15.4. The other identifiers hide machines that have already been released: the MacBook Air M2 bears the identifier Mac14.2, for example. The two models that interest us have 0.00% usage on the platform, but their presence effectively suggests that Apple is in the testing phase of these mysterious devices.
The Mac14.6 model is all the more interesting since it’s not the first time we’ve heard of it. In fact, the identifier also appeared in recent benchmarks for the M2 Max chip. It might just as well be a 14/16-inch MacBook Pro, or a Mac Studio, equipped with this future chip.

The presence of Mac14.6 and Mac15.4 in Steam’s monthly survey in no way presumes that they will launch soon. But we can imagine that Apple is not far from it: the first quarter of 2023 often comes up when it comes to laptops.
The MacBook Pro 14 and 16 inch M2 finally in the first quarter of 2023?
