New 15.5-inch MacBook Air rumored to arrive in early 2023

A larger MacBook Air could be on the way

Last updated

Rumors continue to suggest that a new MacBook Air with a 15-inch display exists, and it is coming in the spring of 2023.

The 15-inch MacBook Air has been rumored since early 2021, but little has been shared about the potential machine beyond its display size. Now that the M2 MacBook Air has been released, rumors are beginning to solidify around the new larger product.

According to a paywalled tweet from display supply chain analyst Ross Young, the new MacBook Air would have a 15.5-inch display, a change from his previous 15.2-inch display prediction. It is expected to be released in the spring of 2023.

Leaker and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also shared details about an upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air. However, he believed it wouldn't go into production until late 2023, and it may not be called a MacBook Air.

When multiple rumors point to a product's existence, it usually means Apple is at least planning for the product's release. There are no guarantees that this MacBook will see the light of day, not until Apple announces the product and release window.

I think this would be a very popular product. Most people don’t need all of the high-end features of the Pro laptops, especially given how good the M-series processors are, but most people do appreciate a larger screen.

$1800?

Can they really drive it to $1600? Feels doubtful.

I know so many writers who’d jump on this. The MBP is too much (power & price) for most users, so an Air Max would be just the device.

Finally a Goldilocks laptop for consumers. The current Air is too small and the 16 inch MacBook Pro too expensive - there is a whopping £ 1,200 gap between the two. So if this is priced at £1,800, I am in.

Such a strange offering. Doubt that’s what it is. Probably a new “MacBook studio” or new iPad Pro. 

Don’t see a marker for a MacBook Air that size.
