Following reports of a new 14.1-inch iPad Pro coming next year, Apple also announced that it is developing new form factors for its MacBook range. According to Bloomberg, Apple is planning a 15-inch MacBook Air for 2023, as well as a new 12-inch laptop and upgrades to 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
The report says Apple is working on a larger 15-inch MacBook Air that could be ready for launch in early spring 2023. This comes after display supply chain analyst Ross Young also announced. that a 15-inch MacBook Air could be released in 2023.
Today’s Bloomberg report explains that the 15-inch MacBook Air under development is a “broader version of the 13.6-inch MacBook Air” that Apple announced at WWDC this week. The company initially considered releasing this 15-inch MacBook Air along with a redesigned 13-inch model this year, but “postponed those plans to focus on the 13.6-inch version.”
There’s also a new 12-inch MacBook running Apple Silicon inside:
Apple has also begun work on a new 12-inch laptop and is considering launching in late 2023 or early 2024. If Apple continues to launch, it will be the company’s smallest laptop since shutting down the 12-inch MacBook in 2019
Finally, there are upgrades to the existing 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro coming later this year. The new models, codenamed J414 and J416, are not expected to be “radically new products”, but rather updated versions of existing MacBook Pro models with faster chips.
“The M2 Max chip in the next high-end MacBook Pro will include 12 core processor cores and up to 38 graphics cores, compared to a maximum of 10 processor cores and 32 graphics cores in current models,” Bloomberg reported.
The new MacBook Pro may be released later this year, although Bloomberg has warned that the deadline may be postponed until early 2023.
The report also highlights that Apple is continuing work on a new Mac mini and Mac Pro with more powerful Apple Silicon inside.
