Apple is ramping up testing of the highly-anticipated next-gen MacBook Air with a 15-inch screen. A new report today says that the 15-inch MacBook Air will feature a screen resolution that’s the same as the 14-inch MacBook Air with Apple Silicon performance that is “on par with M2 Macs.”
The report comes from Bloomberg and cites developer logs, which have leaked now that Apple has started testing the new MacBook Air with “third-party apps from the App Store to validate their compatibility.”
According to the report, the 15-inch MacBook has a screen resolution identical to the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which means it would “would run the same resolution but with slightly less sharpness.” The machine being tested has an eight-core processor with four high-performance cores and four efficiency cores.
Whether this is the M2 chip remains to be seen. Bloomberg simply says that the performance of the machine is “on par with the current M2 chip.” There’s also still no word on when exactly Apple is planning to release this new 15-inch MacBook Air.
Finally, the report indicates that Apple is also working on new versions of the 13-inch MacBook Air, the 24-inch iMac, and the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple is also planning an update to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros for the first half of 2024.
The first Mac Pro with Apple Silicon is also still in the works, but the project has faced “delays and specification changes.
