Apple will launch a 15-inch MacBook Air featuring the new M3 chip in 2024, an insider says — here’s what you need to know.
The Vision Pro might be the most important new product that was announced at Apple’s WWDC 2023 event, but it’s not the only hardware Apple announced from the show. Just as rumored said, Apple made a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air, which is currently available for preorder. Starting at $1,299 and already on sale with a discount, the 15-inch MacBook Air is an amazing proposition. It offers the same design and features as the 13.6-inch model but in a larger package.
That might also be a problem for some MacBook fans. The 15-inch MacBook Air ships with the same M2 System-on-Chip (SoC) as the 13.6-inch version that launched last year. But make no mistake, a model with an M3 chip is coming. The M3 version will launch at some point next year, according to an insider. But you probably shouldn’t wait to get one.
Apple has just completed its transition from Intel chips to its M-series silicon after introducing the M2 Ultra chip for the brand-new Mac Pro. But if there’s anything we’ve learned in the past few years it’s that Apple created a tick-tock release schedule for its processors and laptops.
