Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air was rumored to be a hot topic earlier this year, but the rumors have since died down as all attention has turned to Apple’s AR headset. But display guru Ross Young has reignited the laptop rumors, and it looks like it could be ready for release very soon.
On Monday, Young, who oversees the display supply chain, tweeted to his super followers that Apple started production of the 15-inch MacBook Air in February and ramped it up in March, leading Young to conclude that Apple could release the laptop in late April or early May. While it doesn’t have any “precise launch time” information, rumors have repeatedly suggested that the 15-inch MacBook Air could ship in April.
As you may recall, Apple announced last week that its Worldwide Developers Conference will begin with a keynote on June 5. And since it looks like Apple won’t have a spring event this year, it’s a logical conclusion that Apple will unveil the 15-inch MacBook Air at WWDC, much like the M2 model last year.
However, Apple shipping the 15-inch MacBook Air sometime before WWDC seems more likely. As it has done many times over the past few months, Apple could make a press release announcement for the laptop without tying it to an event, especially if it’s identical to the current model other than the larger one. screen. Essentially, its announcement will be like that of the 10th generation iPad last October, a product that, while new and slightly different from previous models, has no major significant changes that warranted an unveiling at an event.
Also, word is that Apple wants the WWDC keynote to spotlight the rumored headset. While there was a lot of Mac talk during the keynote, if Apple were to reveal a new Mac then, it’s much more likely to be the Mac Pro.
