Bloomberg: Apple will launch 15″ MacBook Air in 2023 and work on 12″ laptop

Apple may release a 15″ MacBook Air in 2023. It is a larger version of the recently announced MacBook Air with M2 soc. In addition, the company is reportedly working on a new 12″ laptop whose specifications are still unknown.

The larger 15-inch MacBook Air won’t be released until spring 2023, says tech journalist Mark Gurman based on insiders† It is the first time that a 15″ variant of the MacBook Air would appear. It may also be the first time since the 12″ MacBook from 2019, an Apple laptop with the same size. This smaller laptop is expected in late 2023 or early 2024. It is not clear whether it is an entry-level model or whether the device has more extensive specifications.

According to Bloomberg, the upcoming 15-inch model is a larger version of the 13.6-inch MacBook Air that Apple announced earlier this week at WWDC. A new 13-inch MacBook Pro was also introduced. These laptops both feature Apple’s new M2-soc, the successor to the M1-soc.

New MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M2 Max socs are also reportedly coming later this year. Bloomberg reports that the release could also shift to early 2023. This again concerns 14″ and 16″ models, which will not differ much from the current line-up except for the faster socs. In addition, according to Bloomberg, Apple is already working on an M3 soc, as well as new versions of the Mac mini and Mac Pro.
