If you’ve been lamenting the loss of the 15-inch MacBook Pro in 2019, there is some good news on the horizon. According to a new rumor, Apple will be bringing back the classic screen size in 2023. Except it won’t be in the MacBook Pro. According to Display Supply Chain Consultants’ Quarterly Advanced IT Display Shipment and Technology report, Apple is working on a larger MacBook Air, which is on track for release in 2023. The report follows a semejante rumor by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman more than a year ago. DSCC CEO Ross Young, who has an extremely accurate track record with display predictions, told 9to5Mac that the new 15-inch model will be a variant of the MacBook Air that won’t replace the current model. It’s not clear what processor the new model will have, but based on Apple’s silicon cadence, it will likely have an M2 chip. Ming-Chi Kuo followed up the DSCC report with a tweet of his own that added a few more details, most notably that the machine might not use the MacBook Air name. He also predicts the laptop will likely launch early in 2023 and may retain the same 30W power adapter. Apple last sold a plain MacBook from 2015-to 2019.
