The 15-inch MacBook Air is apparently already arriving in stores.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Apple will unveil a 15-inch MacBook Air at WWDC 2023 on June 5 – and if it does, I’m looking forward to being proved wrong.
Rumors that Apple will release a larger version of the Air have been around for months, with the likes of Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claiming that a 15-inch Air will be one of several new MacBooks launched at WWDC.
Thus far, I’ve dismissed these claims as unlikely. After all, why would Apple make a large version of the MacBook Air, a laptop whose main selling point is that it’s thin, light and portable?
However, according to Macworld (opens in new tab), referencing a report from DigiTimes, stock of the 15-inch MacBook Air is already making its way into stores – despite the fact that the laptop hasn’t even been announced yet.
The fact that this rumor comes from a source familiar with supply chains, and that it isn’t about the laptop merely existing – but rather, about it actually being delivered – has led me to reconsider my stance. Yes, I’m increasingly convinced that there will be a new 15-inch MacBook Air, and that it will be announced imminently at WWDC.Prove me wrong, Apple
While I’m happy to admit that I may be wrong about the existence of a 15-inch MacBook Air, what I really want is to be proved wrong about the wisdom of releasing such a laptop.
