Industry sources cited by DigiTimes have reported that Apple’s supply chain has begun to stockpile the highly anticipated 15-inch MacBook Air, which is rumored to be announced at Apple’s annual developer conference WWDC on June 5. According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the 15-inch MacBook Air will be powered by the M2 chip with multiple GPU configurations. Despite the launch of the new MacBook, the sources predict that overall MacBook shipments will face a single-digit decrease in 2023 due to a “disappointing” first half of the year, although MacBook shipments may recover in the second half of 2023 if new MacBooks with 3nm chips are released. No design changes have been rumored for the 15-inch MacBook Air beyond its larger display size. Stay up to date on the latest Apple news with information on the recently released Rapid Security Response updates for iOS 16.4.1 and macOS 13.3.1, and new firmware updates for AirPods and MagSafe chargers.
