Apple would have switched to an annual cycle for its new Macs. The new MacBook Air would therefore already be approaching and would bring many more new features than the M2 revision.
Beyond a significant new design, the lack of novelty on the MacBook Air M2 and the machine’s price increase had forced us not to recommend it during our test. It looks like Apple is about to prove us right, with a much more interesting MacBook Air M3.
A new technological gap
This is journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg which is now able to talk about it in the columns of its PowerOn newsletter. The journalist affirms that Apple has indeed adopted an annual renewal cycle for its Macs, like the iPhone.
The MacBook Air M2 was launched in June 2022. So we can also expect a new generation in the coming months with the Apple M3 chip.
This new chip would make the transition from the 5 nm used on the Apple M1 and M2 to 3 nm. This major change would imply a nice increase in performance, and above all a reduction in the consumption of the machine. In other words, we should have the right to greater autonomy.
The MacBook Air M2 would therefore only have been there to mark the calendar in 2022 and wait until the transition to the M3 generation in 3 nm this year.
It is also on this occasion that Apple should unveil a new machine: the MacBook Air M3 in 15-inch version. Hope the machine prices will be more reasonable.
If Apple keeps the same schedule, we can expect a presentation at WWDC in June 2023.
