Seeing how the M1 Pro and M1 Max are currently only reserved for Apple’s MacBook Pro models (with the M1 Max also available on the Mac Studio), it makes sense that the rumored 15-inch model may not be an Air after all. If it is, it would be the first MacBook Air to break from the 13.3-inch display size in the line’s 14-year history. Similar to Kuo’s prediction, the Bloomberg report adds that Apple plans to release the new model in spring 2023. While the report also mentions that Apple is working on a 12-inch laptop, Kuo says he has yet to hear any plans for a 12-inch MacBook. It’s unclear if Apple will follow through with developing a 12-inch model, which is tipped to arrive at the end of 2023 or in early 2024, but there seems to be more of a focus on the 15-inch model. While a new 15-inch MacBook could be in the works, we also have an M2 iPad Pro that could arrive in 2022, meaning we could see more desktop-based experiences come to Apple’s tablet. Plus, an upgraded base iPad with a potential 10.9-inch display is expected to be in the works. Apple has yet to announce anything official, but we’re sure to hear more updates on the 15-inch MacBook as it approaches its rumored launch window. In the meantime, check out the upcoming M2 MacBook Air, and why you should say no to the M2 MacBook Pro.
