Apple, who is yet to launch the iPhone of 2022, is already gearing up for its 2023 line-up for its laptops. According to reports, the tech giant will be expanding the lineup of laptops that will be much faster and better. As per a Bloomberg report, Apple is currently working on a larger MacBook Air which will come with a 15-inch screen. The laptop will house Apple's new speedier in-house chip and is expected to arrive as early as next spring, the report further said. With the MacBook Air, Apple in 2008 had introduced "the world's thinnest notebook" which was a 13.3-inch laptop with 0.76 inches at its thickest point and 0.16 inches at its tapered thinnest. The upcoming rumoured MacBook Air with a 15-inch screen will make it Apple's first model of that size in the Air's 14-year-long history. The upcoming 15-inch model is a wider version of the 13.6-inch MacBook Air which Apple had announced this week during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2022. According to reports, Apple had plans to launch the 15-inch version of the 2022 MacBook Air, but replaced the idea for the 13.6-inch variant. Now it seems like delivering the 15-inch model of MacBook Air next year seems to be the key focus for Apple.

The latest update offers a slew of features and tools to make communication not only fun but also efficient and meaningful. Among the many advancements introduced, Apple said that its new translation feature is coming to the Camera App. This essentially means that users will now be able to use their iPhone cameras to translate signs, packaging, and more in real-time.

If true, big changes are coming. Literally big: Apple is rumored to be building a 14.1-inch iPad Pro and a 15-inch MacBook Air. Both reports come from sources with great track records. Ross Young today revealed the 14.1-inch iPad news, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman published a detailed report outlining the 15-inch MacBook Air details, along with a potential release schedule for Macs powered by the unannounced M2 Pro and M2 Max chipset. According to Young, the upcoming giant iPad will sport a MiniLED display powered by Apple’s ProMotion display technology. This claim is inline with a previous report that stated the 14.1-inch iPad Pro would be powered by the M2 chipset and come with 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of base memory. Likewise, the M2 chip is also coming to the smaller versions of the iPad Pro. The MacBook Air is rumored to grow in size, too. According to Gurman, Apple is planning on releasing the largest version of the MacBook Air to date as soon as spring 2023. The company apparently previously shelved an earlier 15-inch version of the MacBook Air to focus on the 13.6-inch announced earlier this week at Apple’s 2022 developer’s conference. Gurman’s report also states Apple is building a new 12-inch laptop and is targeting a 2023 or early 2024 release. If released, this would be Apple’s smallest laptop since discontinuing the 12-inch MacBook in 2019. Predictably, new high-end MacBook Pros are expected to hit the market in late 2022. These notebooks are expected to be powered by upgraded versions of the M2 chipset, likely called the M2 Pro and M2 Max. Since this product line was released revamped, little changes are expected outside of the new processor. Earlier this week, Apple held its annual developer’s conference, where the company unveiled a host of new products including the M2 chip,
a redesigned MacBook Air and new versions of its desktop and mobile operating systems.
Apple just redesigned the MacBook Air around its M2 chip, but more variants of the ultra-thin notebook may be on the way. A report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has a very solid track record, suggests a larger 15-inch MacBook Air could come in early 2023, as well as a possible new 12-inch notebook coming a bit later. If Apple did go for a 15-inch MacBook Air, it would be the largest in the lineup since it debuted in 2008. The Air has typically had a 13.3-inch display, though an 11.6-inch Air existed for a few years. The newly announced M2 MacBook Air has a 13.6-inch screen. The report claims that the rumored 15-inch model is a "wider version" of the new M2 Air. A 15-inch option has long been desired by Apple fans who want a bigger screen but don't want to pay for the additional power of the MacBook Pro line. There have been rumors about a 15-inch option with M2 before, but they didn't materialize. But as Gurman points out, more options could potentially let Apple use its own silicon to take a bigger bite out of the PC market with a wider variety of performance and size variations. The report also suggests Apple is going small again with a 12-inch laptop for the end of 2023 or early 2024. Apple discontinued a 12-inch MacBook (not Air, not Pro, just "MacBook") back in 2019, so this could take its place as an even more ultraportable machine than the Air. With the new MacBook Air starting at $1,199, perhaps a 12-inch notebook could take its place as the $999 entry-level laptop. Lastly, and perhaps least surprisingly, Gurman says Apple will update the higher-end MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, possibly by the end of 2022 or early 2023. Those laptops are unlikely to see new designs (that just happened last year), with this being a simple spec bump. Apple didn't respond to Bloomberg's request for comment. On the one hand, laptop vendors like Dell, Lenovo and HP offer dozens of designs, each with many configurations, including chips from AMD and Intel. Having more designs might allow Apple to peel away customers who couldn't find what they wanted with the current Mac lineup. Part of Apple's appeal has also been a simple, easy-to-understand choice of Macs (though the 12-inch MacBook caused some confusion). However, with the arrival of more Macs and increasingly Mac-like experiences on the iPad, that simplicity may be going away. But Apple's own chips also put it more in control of its own destiny (supply chain problems aside). We'll see what designs Apple Silicon inspires. Andrew E.
