That leak turned out to be accurate, and the M3 MacBook Pro debuted with a new, bubble-style wallpaper that cryptically spells “Pro.” When the first iMacs and MacBooks Pro start shipping Nov. 7, they’ll include brand-new wallpapers designed for the best Macs. However, if you want to download these wallpapers for your existing Mac, you’re in luck.
