Apple is working on a new 15-inch MacBook Air that could launch as early as next spring, according to a new report from Bloomberg.
The laptop would be a larger version of the 13.6-inch MacBook Air just announced this week and could help the company grab a bigger share of the overall notebook market.
The company is working on a larger MacBook Air with a 15-inch screen for release as early as next spring, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. This would mark the first model of that size in the MacBook Air’s 14-year history. Apple is also developing what would be its smallest new laptop in years.
Apple has purportedly started development of a 12-inch MacBook that could launch at the end of 2023 or early 2024. It's unclear if the device would be part of the Pro line, Air line, or its own line. Apple discontinued its previous 12-inch MacBook in 2019.
Finally, as expected, Apple is working on updates to the high-end Macbook Pro with new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. We could see those as early as the end of 2022, though their release could slip into early 2023. The 14-inch and 16-inch models are codenamed J414 and J416. They aren't expected to offer any drastic updates beyond faster processors.
The M2 Max chip in the next high-end MacBook Pros will include 12 main processing cores and up to 38 graphics cores, up from a maximum of 10 processing cores and 32 graphics cores in the current models. New versions of the Mac mini and a revamped Mac Pro are also in testing within Apple, Bloomberg has reported. And the company is already working on an M3 chip destined for a future iMac and other products.
