Apple prepares everything to welcome the new member of its family of computers!
The possibility seems closer and closer. After confirming that Apple would finally launch a 15-inch MacBook Air, new reports confirm that the company may do so during WWDC in June 2023, before the return of the live audience. Thus, the version shared by Mark Gurman from his column power oncontradicts those who expect the launch during a supposed spring event.
If Gurman is correct, the launch of the larger MacBook Air, would coincide with the launch of the latest MacBook Air in June 2022, during the WWDC of developers. Back then, the company took the opportunity to present a MacBook Air with a new design, M2 chip, 1080p camera and a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display.
This is the year of the 15-inch MacBook Air
According to the post, beyond the release date there are other concerns regarding the release. Gurman isn’t sure if the new MacBook Airs will ship with Apple’s upcoming M3 chips or if they will retain the current M2 silicon. The columnist claims that while a 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip may still excite consumers, a new 13-inch MacBook Air M2 is unlikely to appeal.
Although in this wave of launches the 15-inch MacBook Air would be the main protagonist, it will not be alone. Apple will also introduce an updated 13-inch MacBook Air (J513) and a new Apple Mac Pro. Both releases are expected between late spring and summer.
As for the other members of Apple’s computer family, the company is believed to be working on production testing to a 24-inch iMac internally updated, although no changes to its screen size or new colors are expected for fall.
Until now, Gurman expects more exciting updates in 2025with the advent of the first OLED-based touchscreen MacBooks.
