Apple will likely release both an updated 13-inch MacBook Air and a larger 15-inch MacBook Air “sometime between late spring and summer,” according to Bloombergby Mark Gurman. However, he said which chips these models will use is a “big remaining question”.


Gurman said it’s “plausible” that at least the next 13-inch MacBook Air will feature the as-yet-unannounced M3 chip, which would be manufactured based on TSMC’s latest 3nm process for improved performance. The current 13-inch model was released in July 2022 and is powered by the M2 chip, which is based on a 5nm process.

Gurman did not reveal whether the 15-inch MacBook Air will also feature the M3 chip. He said a 15-inch model with an M2 chip “could still excite consumers” but would “quickly become obsolete” given that the M3 chip is on the horizon. Last month, Taiwan supply chain post DigiTimes claimed that the 15-inch MacBook Air would feature the M2 chip, but the website has a lackluster track record with Apple rumours.

Apple’s supply chain began production of display panels for a new 15.5-inch MacBook Air in February, according to display industry analyst Ross Young, who has a strong track record. when it comes to display rumors. This model would be the biggest MacBook Air ever, as the laptop was only ever offered in 13-inch and 11-inch sizes.

Overall, there’s still some uncertainty about the chips surrounding the new MacBook Air models, but it’s worth noting that Gurman expects the 13-inch and 15-inch models to hit shelves by summer. He also continues to expect a new Mac Pro desktop tower with an M2 Ultra chip and the same design as the 2019 model to launch by summer, and an updated 24-inch iMac to be released. in the second half of this year at the earliest. .
