Uncrowned Guard Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 TL;DL: According to a report from Taiwanese publication DigiTimes, Apple plans to release a new MacBook Air in the second half of 2023, which may be equipped with a 3nm chip. This chip would likely be Apple's next-generation M3 chip, which would offer faster performance and improved power efficiency compared to Apple's current 5nm chips. The report does not provide any additional details about the MacBook Air or a more specific launch timeframe. Apple's chipmaking partner TSMC started mass production of 3nm chips in late December. The M3 chip in the next MacBook Air could be one of Apple's first 3nm chips alongside the A17 Bionic chip in iPhone 15 Pro models later this year. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro will also be updated with 3nm M3 Pro and M3 Max chips in 2024. It's worth noting that these are the same DigiTimes authors who claimed that the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips would be "delayed" beyond early 2023, which was incorrect. Display industry analyst Ross Young last month claimed that a 15-inch MacBook Air would be released in the first half of 2023.

Grungie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I'd be surprised if they do release it in 2023, as the M2 Macbook Air came out in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
