With WWDC 2023 around the corner, many wonder what Apple could show at the event. Previously, it was rumoured that we'll see the company's long-awaited AR/VR headset. It's also suggested that we could see a new MacBook and Mac Studio.

Apple has long been rumoured to manufacture a new 15-inch MacBook Air, its first ‘Air’ laptop in that size. Now, it looks like the product is almost ready for release as its currently undergoing compatibility tests with third-party App Store applications.

Yesterday, we reported that Apple may be releasing an M3-powered iMac later this year. Well, it looks like the iMac won’t be the only Mac that would be getting an M3 refresh, as the 13-inch MacBook Air and a new 15-inch MacBook Air would also be utilising the 3nm chipset.

Previously, we reported that Apple may be working on a 15-inch MacBook Air, the first laptop in the Mac lineup to feature that display size. Now, more details have emerged about the product, including its processor and potential release date.

When Apple refreshed the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13 with the M2 SoC last year, it was met with controversy after the SSD speeds of the base variants were found to be much slower than the M1 equivalents. Well, the tech giant has been found doing the same thing again, this time with the recently released M2 Mac Mini and M2 MacBook Pro models.

Apple has officially announced the release of their Apple MacBook Pro laptops powered by their new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. On top of the M2 powered 13-inch display version, Apple is now including M2 Pro and M2 Max powered 14-inch and 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display variants as well with pricing starting from RM8799.

Apple may be making its first launch of 2023 as early as tomorrow (18 January 2023) as sources are claiming that the tech giant will be announcing new MacBook Pro models. Moreover, the company is expected to hold Mac-related briefings with the media followed by an announcement on its Newsroom website.

Apple’s MacBook lineup has undergone significant changes over the years, the most notable being the company’s transition to its own Apple Silicon SoCs. However, one thing that remains constant is the lack of a touchscreen but that may change soon.

Apple is reportedly planning to release a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air in late 2023, the first time that the lineup would feature that screen size. The report is an update to previous rumours regarding Apple’s MacBook lineup, which also suggested that the tech giant is working on a 12-inch MacBook Air too.

Apple may move away from mini-LED displays for its future iPads and MacBooks lineups and opt for OLED displays instead. This is according to industry sources which claim that demand for mini-LED suppliers is shrinking due to Apple’s alleged move.
