It has been confirmed through In particular, it is said that Apple was not in a hurry to mount it due to complex factors such as market conditions and inventory adjustment, as well as TSMC’s mass production problems .
In the end, the manufacturing schedule for the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air remains the same (around June), and only the M3 chip has been postponed.
The account adds another voice to the rumor chorus that says the M3 will not initially make an appearance in the new laptop.
Last week, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman reported that an unreleased 15-inch MacBook Air powered by a processor that is “on par” with the M2 chip has been discovered in App Store developer logs. The much-rumored laptop is widely expected to debut at WWDC 2023 in June. Apple is also working on an updated 13-inch MacBook Air, says Gurman.
There have been plenty of rumors about a larger MacBook Air, stretching back to 2021. Reports about the gearing up of production of 15-inch display panels have been seen from several sources. It’s unclear exactly when the laptop would be released, but it will likely be announced by WWDC, which begins June 5. Apple announced the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip at WWDC last year.
