According to a report by Taiwanese publication DigiTimes, Apple plans to launch a new MacBook Air in the second half of 2023, possibly featuring a 3nm chip.
This chip will likely be Apple's next-generation M3 chip, which is expected to offer faster performance and significantly better energy efficiency compared to Apple's current 5nm chips. Article is it [called:
The supply chain is more focused on the cheaper MacBook Air, which is scheduled to be updated in the second half of 2023 and may feature a 3nm processor.
The report does not provide any further details about the MacBook Air or a more precise launch timeline. Apple's chip manufacturing partner TSMC began mass production of 3nm chips in late December.
Will Apple update the MacBook Air this year?
The M3 chip in the next MacBook Air could be one of Apple's first 3nm chips, along with the A17 Bionic chip in the iPhone 15 Pro models later this year. Earlier this week, 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. This would be a familiar pattern for Apple, as the M1 and M2 chips debuted in the MacBook Air, followed by the Pro and Max versions of those chips in the MacBook Pro later. The current MacBook Air with the M2 chip was introduced in July and has an all-new design with a notch in the display, MagSafe, a 1080p camera, and more. Apple continues to sell a MacBook Air with the M1 chip. (Image: Apple)
