Apple’s next MacBook Air could come with more than one surprise. If the ultralight of the Californian has been presenting important improvements and changes in its most recent versions –with the M1 chip, first, and with a completely renewed design and the M2 chip, this year–, it does not seem that it will be less in its next iteration.
At least, this is what the renowned journalist from Bloomberg Mark Gurman. In a post this Sunday, he points out that Apple is developing a 15-inch MacBook Airin addition to other devices that will arrive next year.
15-inch MacBook Air: the largest to date
The new machine would be the biggest screen increase the Air range has ever seen. It would also arrive after the classic 13.3-inches increased to 13.6″ this year with the arrival of the MacBook Air M2 and its notch on top.
An increase to 15 inches would make the device most attractive to those looking to extract the full potential of the MacBook Air, which has become a powerful portable work tool thanks to the arrival of new chips manufactured by Apple. In addition, this has been one of the recurrent sizes historically in the MacBook Pro range until its replacement, in 2019, by the 16 “.
Currently, those who need the largest screen dimensions have to opt for the 16-inch MacBook Pro, whose dimensions and weight distance it from that great portable capacity. It’s obvious, at the same time, that this will be the bulkiest and heaviest MacBook Air to date, which will also reduce its audience potential.
However, it would not be the only model. Along with it, Apple is expected to continue the current 13.6″ MacBook Air. Therefore, there would be two updated machines in the range catalog, something that had not happened since the firm discontinued the 11-inch MacBook Air. inches in 2016.
Mac Pro and HomePod, also in 2023
The MacBook Air will not be the only updated terminal in 2023. In addition to the already expected iPhone and iPad, Gurman assures that the expected one will also arrive Mac Pro with proprietary chip.
Rumors about the arrival of a Mac Pro without an Intel chip inside have been on the rise for some time. Specifically, from the presentation of the most powerful chips in the Apple M range. However, the challenge of their quintessential machine for professionals has caused delays in the original plan.
Now, everything indicates that 2023 will be the year in which it sees the light. I would also do it together with a new iMac with M3 chip.
Additionally, the journalist points to the launch of a new HomePod sometime next year, as well as that of a 14-inch iPad Pro.
