New Apple MacBook Air Leaked
Aside from the 15-inch MacBook, Bloomberg claims that Apple will unveil a new 12-inch MacBook. Although Kuo claims that he has yet to hear anything regarding the 12-inch model.
However, according to DSCC analyst Ross Young, Apple “is designing a new edition of the MacBook Air for 2023 that will sport a screen size of roughly 15-inches.” So, indeed, the 15-inch model appears to be in the pipeline.

If that happens, it will be Apple’s smallest notebook since the 12” MacBook Pro was discontinued in 2019 “MacBook Pro. Although it is uncertain if this will be part of the MacBook Air or Pro series.
Furthermore, Apple intends to offer M2 Pro and M2 Max-powered high-end MacBook Pro computers by the end of 2022, but this date may be pushed back to early 2023. These will be nicknamed J414 and J416 and will be available in 14″ and 16” sizes.
TSMC will allegedly build the M2 Pro chip, which will go into commercial production later this year. It will be manufactured using a 3nm technology and will include four efficiency and eight performance cores.
The M2 Max, on the other hand, is reported to have 12 primary processor cores, along with up to 38 graphics cores. Apple has also begun work on the M3 chip, which is likely to power the iMac and other devices in the future.
