Apple is apparently working on a new MacBook Air model that will feature its cutting edge M3 series chipset. The company just recently unveiled a new 15 inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip during the WWDC 2023, but a new report hints at its successor.

The Cupertino based giant is claiming that the latest MacBook Air with the M2 chipset is the world’s thinnest 15 inch laptop model with a mere 11.5mm thickness. However, it appears that this model will get a refresh that features an even more powerful chipset. As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone maker’s new updated line will soon begin to manufacture MacBook Air models with the next gen M3 processors.
The report added that this new laptop model will launch sometime in 2024, which is in line with one of our previous reports. For those unaware, the M3 SoC is the successor to the M2 and offers various improvements like energy efficiency and performance upgrades. Furthermore, this chipset will be based on the 3nm TSMC process that will power a 13.6 inch and 15.3 inch MacBook Air. The M3 chipset will likely feature a core count similar to the M2, so we can expect the base M3 to feature an 8 core CPU and up to 10 core GPU.
Apart from this, Gurman also added that Apple is working on a new iMac model as well as a MacBook Pro, which will also be powered by the M3 chipset. The report adds that the upcoming iMac with M3 chipset will be similar to the M1 iMac that was launched in the past. Gurman believes that the iMac will be launching around the first half of next year, although, the launch of the M3 based MacBook Pro model is still unclear.
