Photographer: David Paul Morris/BloombergJune 9, 2022, 4:07 PM UTC Apple Inc. plans to expand the lineup of laptops using its new, speedier in-house chips next year, aiming to grab a bigger share of the market, people with knowledge of the matter said. The company is working on a larger MacBook Air with a 15-inch screen for release as early as next spring, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. This would mark the first model of that size in the MacBook Air’s 14-year history. Apple is also developing what would be its smallest new laptop in years. Apple has a jam-packed slate of products prepared for 2023, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman predicted over the weekend. In his latest Power On newsletter, the Apple-focused journalist says Apple is readying a slew of new hardware, including a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air, an M3 iMac, and a new Mac Pro, 9to5Mac reported Sunday. "Next year should be pretty jam-packed for Apple. Look for a 15-inch MacBook Air, new M3 iMac, the Mac Pro, updated HomePod, Reality Pro headset and a larger iPad," Gurman wrote. "There's also the potential debut of the company's combined Apple TV, HomePod and FaceTime camera device coming at the tail end of the year." Gurman also suggested that Apple might skip the rumored October event focused on Macs and iPads, as previously reported by Digital Trends, since its remaining 2022 updates aren't enough to warrant a full show. The 2022 MacBook Air was released in June and featured the first complete redesign of the series since its initial release in 2008. The MacBook Air currently only comes in a 13-inch model, though Apple sold an 11-inch version until 2016. A 15-inch MacBook Air would be Apple's only laptop of that size, since its MacBook Pro lineup offers screen sizes of 13-, 14-and 16-inches.

The current version of Apple's powerful desktop runs on Intel processors and hasn't seen an update since late 2019. Apple's smart home device, the HomePod, also hasn't been touched in a while. The company released a HomePod Mini in 2020, but the larger HomePod hasn't been refreshed since 2018. Though new iPads are expected to be announced next month, Gurman also says we could be in store for an even larger model next year, though he doesn't specify which model will receive the new size, nor does he mention exactly how large the screen will get. While Gurman's predictions include upgrades on old devices, he also expect to see new products debut. There have been rumors about Apple's Reality Pro headset for a while now, and it appears that the virtual reality device might make its debut in 2023. Lastly, a combined Apple TV, HomePod and FaceTime camera product appears to be a portable smart home device with a screen for watching TV and taking FaceTime calls, in the vein of an Amazon's Echo Show.
If you were hoping for new MacBook Pros in 2022, you might be disappointed, as a new report has them pegged to now arrive in 2023.
As the year comes to a close, we're getting new information about Apple's upcoming MacBook Pros, which were reportedly slated to arrive by the end of the year. Now, it looks like the new refreshed model with Apple's M2 silicon will not arrive by year's end and will instead come toward the first half of 2023. According to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the M2 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros will likely arrive in the first quarter of the year, with a high chance that they will be announced sometime in early February to early March. Gurman further states that the laptops will arrive with the announcement of macOS Ventura 13.3 and iOS 16.3. He goes on to state that the firm will most likely set a release for March because it has typically done so with past products. During Apple's earnings call, the company indicated that revenue growth would slow down in 2022, mainly because new products wouldn't arrive this holiday season. Most recently, Apple debuted a new iPad, iPad Pros, and also an improved Apple TV 4K. A month prior, it introduced new iPhone 14 models, the Apple Watch Series 8 and Watch Ultra, along with the second-generation AirPods Pro. For the most part, it has been a busy year for the company, adding more products to its lineup. While some might think this is a good thing with more options, others would beg to differ. As Apple expands to more products, there's a possibility that it could alienate existing customers while also bringing in new ones. If you were looking forward to Apple's new laptops, this news might come as a bit of a disappointment. But, on the flip side, it looks like you'll have a few months to save a little more towards your new MacBook Pro. Those looking for more power and are willing to go with a desktop might benefit from holding off until Apple announces the new Mac Pro, set to arrive within the coming months. Source: Bloomberg Is there a new MacBook Pro coming out in 2023?Gurman initially said the notebooks could see a launch in late 2022, but he later said that Apple had decided not to introduce the new machines until 2023. At this point, we are expecting a 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro refresh in early 2023.
What will Apple release in 2023?Look for a 15-inch MacBook Air, new M3 iMac, the Mac Pro, updated HomePod, Reality Pro headset and a larger iPad," Gurman wrote. "There's also the potential debut of the company's combined Apple TV, HomePod and FaceTime camera device coming at the tail end of the year."
Will there be a new iMac in 2023?Gurman previously said the M3 iMac isn't expected to launch anytime before the end of 2023, suggesting the machine could make a debut next October when Apple typically announces updates to the Mac lineup.
Will a new Mac be released in 2022?No November/December 2022 Product Announcements
Earlier in the year, there were rumors suggesting that some Macs could be refreshed before the end of 2022, including the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models and the Mac mini, but multiple rumors have said no more Macs are coming in 2022.
