A larger, 15-inch MacBook Air could launch next year

By

Apple could be releasing a 15-inch MacBook Air next year, according to reporting from iMore. The company has been talking about making a larger model of the Air for several years, and it looks like those discussions are yielding tangible results.

The new info comes from analyst Ross Young and the latest Display Supply Chain Consultants Quarterly Advanced IT Display Report. The report includes a road map for several Apple products, including a 15-inch MacBook Air in 2023.

That’s not the only news in the report either. Apple’s soon-to-be-released MacBook Air may also have a larger display while maintaining a similar form factor. That’s because the MacBook Air will probably have thinner bezels, like the newest MacBook Pros before it. There are rumors it might even have a notch.

The news comes on the heels of rumors about the new MacBook Air, including a pretty realistic render from ZONEofTECH.

The entry-level iPad is also getting a refresh according to DSCC. It would have a larger 10-inch display and the same design language as the iPad Air, iPad Pro, and every other Apple product at this point.

Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) is a group of supply chain experts specializing in display-based products. As such, they are intimately familiar with what is going on at the back end for many manufacturers. Their reports are a solid indicator of what direction a product is moving in.

Apple has aggressively revamped its Mac lineup over the past year. After years of anemic refreshes, the company has kicked it into overdrive after its M1 chips took the computing world by storm.

After the initial release of M1 devices, the 24-inch M1 iMac came several months later, complete with several new color options. Just last week, Apple announced the Mac Studio, a powerhouse PC in a suped-up Mac Mini case. Apple isn’t done yet, with the new Mac Pro and MacBook Air coming somewhere down the line.

The new MacBook Air has got a small, but significant keyboard update
M4 MacBook Air

This week, Apple introduced three new products: a fresh MacBook Air, iPad Air, and iPad. One thing each of these devices has in common is that they basically look the same as the models they are replacing—except for one tiny detail on the new MacBook.

As iCulture’s noted first, the new laptop addresses a design flaw that Apple has had for the past 26 years. Since the launch of the PowerBook G3 ‘Lombard’ in 1999, the mute key on every Apple laptop has featured a speaker icon. However, this design does not clearly indicate that the button can both mute and unmute the computer’s audio. With the introduction of the new MacBook Air, the keyboard now displays a speaker icon with a strike-through, clearly signaling its full function. For those keeping score at home, the button in question is the F10 key.

Honor MagicBook Pro 14 beats the new MacBook Air in one striking way

Although its name may suggest otherwise, Mobile World Congress (MWC) is not just a show for mobile devices. The business side touches every facet of the consumer technology industry, and many of the biggest companies unveil new products for the European and wider global markets.

The latest edition — MWC Barcelona 2025 — did oversee a return to form, with more mobile devices launched than in recent years, but one of the non-mobile devices that stood out for me was the Honor MagicBook Pro 14.

The M3 MacBook Air is gone for good — but the M2 is a survivor worth considering

With the introduction of the new M4 MacBook Air, it's time to say goodbye to some of the older models. This time, both the M3 and the M2 MacBook Air will disappear from Apple Store shelves. Unlike the M3, however, the M2 isn't being discontinued completely -- it will still be available at certain retailers.

This gives people a chance to get an amazing laptop (the laptop I'm writing on right now) at a really good price. TechRadar has already spotted certain M2 MacBook Air configurations on Amazon selling for as low as $699. That's 30% off MSRP and 30% less than the new M4 model.
