Apple is reportedly planning to release a 15-inch MacBook Air in 2023. As per a quarterly report by the Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the new 15-inch MacBook Air model is expected to come with a larger version of the existing 13.3-inch MacBook Air. Additionally, the entry-level iPad is also said to get a refresh next year. Earlier, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggested that Apple will not launch the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models until 2023.

DSCC's Quarterly Advanced IT Display Shipment and Technology report suggests a possible roadmap for several Apple products. Apple is planning to launch a 15-inch MacBook Pro next year, as per a report by 9to5Mac quoting DSCC analyst Ross Young. Furthermore, the iPhone maker is reportedly planning a larger MacBook Air with a “slightly larger” display, between 13 and 14 inches. According to the report, the company is also eyeing to release a larger 10-inch iPad model in 2023, possibly indicating a redesign for the entry-level iPad. The current entry-level iPad features a 10.2-inch display.

Recently, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that he does not expect Apple to update its high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models this year. He suggested the launch of at least two or three new Mac devices around the middle of the year — M2 versions of the MacBook Air, Mac mini, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and 24-inch iMac are said to be set for release across this year.
