Apple is working on a 15-inch MacBook Air that could be launched next spring, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The 15-inch MacBook Air would be close to the size of the larger 16-inch MacBook Pro and would be Apple’s largest MacBook Air. The current MacBook Air of 2022 has the largest screen that Apple has released so far with 13.6 inches.
The 15-inch MacBook Air would use the same design as the current 13.6-inch model, which removed the tapered frame that the MacBook Air used for years.
Alongside the 15-inch MacBook Air, Apple is also working on a smaller 12-inch machine, although the name of the smaller machine is unclear. Apple has not offered a 12-inch laptop since the discontinued 12-inch MacBook Retina.
The 15-inch MacBook Air could be launched in early 2023 at a planned spring event, and the 12-inch MacBook could arrive in late 2023 or early 2024.
High-end MacBook Pro models equipped with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are in process and could be launched in late 2022, although Gurman warns that the release date could be delayed until 2023.
The M2 Max chip will have a 12-core CPU and a GPU of up to 38 cores, more than the 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU of the current M1 Max. Apple is also developing M3 chips for more upcoming machines in the future.
Finally, Apple is developing new 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models that are also expected to use the M-Series chips, and these new iPads are scheduled for later in 2022.
