An upgrade to M2 Max seems possible, and Gurman adds that Apple is testing an M2 Ultra too. The Mac Studio is more than a year old now and still runs on the M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips. “Read into that what you will,” Gurman tweeted. These are the M2 MacBook Air, the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro and the Mac Studio.

The Mac Pro, for example, is something that’s still running on Intel chips and is screaming out for an Apple Silicon rebuild.īut reading between the lines, Gurman says that Apple will begin to accept trade-ins on three new bits of hardware on June 5 - the first day of WWDC. What might these be? Well, there are no shortage of Macs that could be refreshed, if we assume anything more than a year old is fair game.

But Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman believes we might see “several new Macs” at the event too. The mixed-reality headset and 15-inch MacBook Air seem as close to nailed on as any pre-show rumors can be. Mac Studio on desk plugged into Studio Display This more basic feature set should mean a lower price, and our discussions with analysts point to something in the $1,299 to $1,499 range. That means a 60Hz screen, fewer ports, weaker audio and likely the same chip that powers the current 13-inch M2 MacBook Air (the M3 chip is said to be coming at a later date). The 15-inch MacBook Air would be an attempt to offer a larger screen without superfluous Pro features for those that don’t need them. And if you want something bigger, you have to stump up for a 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro, and both are considerably more expensive than computers in the Air line. While the MacBook Air was once available in two sizes - 11.6 and 13.3-inches - only the latter is available now. And the strong rumor is that Apple will debut the 15-inch MacBook Air at WWDC this year. If anything can steal the thunder from Apple’s first new product line since the HomePod, it’s the biggest MacBook Air the company has ever produced.
