Apple is preparing to release a bigger entry-level MacBook in 2023, according to a new report from Display Supply Chain Consultants. According to the source, the business is working on a new 15-inch entry-level laptop. In addition, in the following year, the 13-inch MacBook Air is slated to be revamped with a slightly bigger screen. Furthermore, according to the DSCC quarterly report, the entry-level iPad might have a larger display. The iPad (9th Gen) is now the entry-level iPad with a 10.2-inch display.
MacBook history
Many people like Apple products. This is supported by extensive data from a number of Fortune 500 organisations. According to a Computerworld story, iOS devices are already used by 98 percent of Fortune 500 organisations. Furthermore, these same businesses are considering switching to Mac computers. If this isn’t convincing enough, Jamf reported in one of their stories that IT giant IBM has deployed 100,000 Mac machines across the firm, with SAP and Capital One receiving particular mentions for deploying 13,000 and 12,000 Mac computers, respectively. A Mac computer has evolved into much more than what it once was—a tool for creative professionals and college students.
Apple’s MacBooks lineup has come a very long way in terms of design, build, and features. Owning one MacBook today means you get a laptop with a sleek design, with a sturdy Macintosh built, and a reliable OS. Some of the outstanding features which make MacBooks superior laptops are its high-Retina display, the comfortable as well as snappy keyboard, and the sophisticated design that has a machine that outperforms other brands or models.
Of course, the MacBook we know today has gone through a number of changes. In truth, the first Apple portable computer, the Macintosh Portable, was released in 1989. During the 15 years that the PowerBook brand was in use, the series went through several redesigns and advancements. The PowerBook G4, which was introduced in 2001 and is regarded as the MacBook’s direct predecessor, was the last model of the PowerBook line. It was the first to debut the compact style and sleek design (which was revolutionary at the time) that is still evident in today’s MacBooks.
Summary (15-inch MacBook Air)
The new 15-inch MacBook Air model is likely to arrive with a bigger version of the present 13.3-inch MacBook Air, according to a quarterly study by Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC). In addition, the entry-level iPad is expected to be updated next year. Apple’s new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models will not be released until 2023, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
As soon as the rumour hit the internet, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo offered his thoughts on the gadget. Apple’s 15-inch laptop might begin commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to Kuo. Despite the fact that a bigger display would consume more power. Kuo claims that the design objective is to use the same 30W power adapter that comes standard with the MacBook Air. Kuo’s last and most intriguing forecast is that the gadget will not be named a MacBook Air at all.
Because rumours concerning Apple’s M2 processor have been circulating on the internet, it’s logical to assume that the redesigned MacBook Air with a 15-inch display will also use the chip. Apple may, however, rethink its tactics with the forthcoming laptop. According to Kuo, Apple may drop the ‘Air’ from the product’s name and rebrand it as a ‘MacBook,’ making it the new entry-level Apple laptop for years to come. Keep an eye on this space for additional information on the Apple MacBook Air as well as other tech news.

Verdict
Apple had its Peak Performance event recently. The one-hour program unveiled a slew of new Apple gadgets. It included the iPhone SE 3, which is powered by Apple’s newest A15 Bionic CPU and can connect to 5G networks. The iPad Air (5th Gen) with the M1 processor was then unveiled by Apple. However, there were rumors that Apple might unveil a new M2 processor at the presentation. Although, this was not the case. DSCC claims that Apple is working on a basic model iPad that will be “significantly bigger” than the present 10.2-inch device. This is in addition to a larger MacBook Air.
