Apple unveiled a new 13.6-inch MacBook Air at WWDC earlier this week, powered by the M2 chip announced at the same event. It won’t go on sale until next month, but a new report from Bloomberg says Apple is already working on a 15-inch MacBook Air, which it plans to release as early as next spring, making it the first laptop of that size in the Air series.

The 15 “MacBook Air is a larger version of the 13.6” MacBook Air announced this week, meaning it won’t have the wedge-shaped frame we’ve seen on previous models.

The publication further states that Apple is also working on a 12-inch laptop, slated for launch in late 2023 or early 2024. If that happens, it will be Apple’s smallest laptop since 2019, when the company has discontinued production of the 12 “MacBook. Although it is unclear whether this will be part of the MacBook Air range or the Pro series.

Additionally, Apple is planning to release the high-end M2 Pro and M2 Max powered MacBook Pro laptops by the end of 2022, but it could be moved to early 2023. These are codenames J414 and J416 and will arrive in 14 ” and 16 “sizes.

The M2 Pro chip will reportedly go into mass production later this year and will be manufactured by TSMC. It will be based on the 3nm process and will come with four efficiency cores and eight performance. The M2 Max, on the other hand, is said to include 12 main processing cores joined by up to 38 graphics cores.

Apple has also started development of the M3 chip, which is expected to power the iMac and other products in the future.
