It sounds like Apple is ready to launch the next wave of MacBooks, but maybe temper your expectations a bit.
Rumors are swirling about Apple’s next big event, the annual Worldwide Developer Conference (or WWDC), starting June 5. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg(Opens in a new tab)we will see no less than three new MacBooks at the event: a 15-inch MacBook Air, a new 13-inch MacBook Air and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro.
Apple iPhones with old software lose access to the App Store, but it’s not as bad as it sounds
While previous MacBook refreshes have included new Apple silicon chips, such as last year’s M2 MacBook Air, Gurman’s report said you shouldn’t expect M3 chips in this round of MacBooks. They will use something closer to the M2 in terms of power instead, and will be updated in other, unspecified ways.
It’s hard to figure out what else is new about these MacBooks so far, but it’s worth noting that there’s no 15-inch M2 MacBook Air yet. There’s already a great 13-inch model and a 13-inch Pro, but apparently Apple thinks those should be updated as well. We’ll just have to wait.
As it stands, it’s hard to imagine a pair of new MacBooks taking up that much time on a show that also reportedly features a fancy new mixed reality headset, but Apple always finds ways to surprise us.
