Apart from the 15-inch MacBook, Bloomberg also reported that Apple is planning to release a new 12-inch MacBook. Although Kuo says that he has not yet heard anything about the 12-inch model as of now. However, DSCC analyst Ross Young previously reported that Apple “is planning a new variant of the MacBook Air for 2023 that will feature a screen size of around 15-inches.” So yeah, the 15-inch model certainly seems to be in the works.
