Apple is working on a 15-inch MacBook Air that could be released as early as next spring which will held in 2023, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

[{"selector":"#anim-0dbc0c19-6dc8-464c-849b-b98ade008206","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ad31c18-0923-4350-aab7-3bcc71dee4f5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ would be close to the size of the larger-screened 16-inch MacBook Pro, and it would be Apple's largest ‌MacBook Air‌ to date.

[{"selector":"#anim-60ed41ae-1f3e-4090-90ef-56dbcbc4c2e0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0751052-c0a6-4651-9082-102518872062","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The current 2022 MacBook Air has the biggest display Apple has released so far at 13.6 inches.

[{"selector":"#anim-01fc5522-eaef-4cca-979c-363f3fdd731d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02c6d7b6-9bc6-49dc-ac77-584b501a4a48","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 223.24390%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ would use the same design as the current 13.6-inch model, which eliminated the tapered frame that the ‌MacBook Air‌ used for years.

[{"selector":"#anim-eb91a6be-29b0-4041-a34c-290d9dc13bf1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7e83c9a-70a1-421a-83b4-f880b4603666","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Alongside the 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌, Apple is working on a smaller 12-inch machine as well, though the naming of the tinier machine is unclear.

[{"selector":"#anim-ef52bb0b-30f4-4f7b-a0d5-e98143500253","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8704dd87-d527-4825-920d-8e61b1fbeb98","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Apple has not offered a 12-inch notebook since the 12-inch Retina MacBook that has since been discontinued.

[{"selector":"#anim-09849bbc-f6c4-48de-a893-4928422236a8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53316e11-2965-4d9e-9884-8ce0f3279a1c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ could be released in early 2023 at a planned spring event, and the 12-inch MacBook could come at the end of 2023 or early 2024.

[{"selector":"#anim-310293db-28c6-4cb6-84f3-53d805ddf5d0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45eadd1c-0539-4f5a-9c98-bd76916cc7c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

MacBook Pro equipped with M2 Pro and ‌M2‌ Max are in works and could launch at the end of 2022, though Gurman warns that release date could be pushed.

[{"selector":"#anim-86e04a84-28ef-420b-acd4-31db95bfe1fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0164d0a4-1733-4a7c-a12c-2da9c0cdcd67","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The ‌M2‌ Max chip will feature a 12-core CPU and up to a 38-core GPU, up from the 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU in the current M1 Max.

[{"selector":"#anim-8a369560-daab-45c7-96a8-184db065e69b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-779d167c-316d-4c3f-be88-0b230580ec2a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Apple is also already developing M3 chips for machines that will come out further in the future.
