Apple has been working on revamping its MacBook Air lineup by introducing two new models, including a smaller 12-inch model and a larger 15-inch model.

Now, a new report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that the 12-inch model isn’t coming this year, but the 15-inch MacBook Air is expected to go official later this year.

As of now, not much has been revealed about this upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air. However, display analyst Ross Young had previously said that Apple would start production of 15.5-inch display panels for the MacBook Air in the first quarter of 2023. If the timeline remains unchanged, then the device could be officially released as soon as this spring.

Coming to the design, we do not expect the company to launch a redesigned model, given that the MacBook Air was recently updated. So, the device will pretty much have the same design as the current models.

Internally, the laptop could be powered by the M2 chip or the M2 Pro processor, which Apple has not yet announced. The new M2 series chips are expected to be announced soon, which will power a few more Mac devices this year.

The 12-inch MacBook Air, which was previously stated to launch this year or in 2024, is no longer in the company’s short-term plans, which means that the device isn’t coming anytime soon.
