Apple is set to host its highly anticipated WWDC 2023 event on June 5, where it will see fit to announce iOS 17, watchOS 10, and a boatload of other updates. The company is also expected to announce its rumored AR Headset alongside the larger 15-inch MacBook Air. While the event is printed towards developers and software releases, Apple sees fit to reveal new hardware at the event as well. Today, it is being reported that Apple's suppliers are ramping up production for the larger 15-inch MacBook Air ahead of the potential launch at WWDC 2023. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.

15-Inch MacBook Air will potentially launch at the WWDC event in June as suppliers are guided to increase production

According to Morgan Stanley's Erik Woodring, Apple supplier Quanta Computer is aiming to ramp up the production of notebooks in the second half of this year compared to the prior (via MacRumors). The analyst coins that the production is associated with the new 15-inch MacBook Air that Apple is aiming to launch at its highly anticipated WWDC event in June. This is not the first time that we are hearing details on the larger version of the MacBook Air.

In his Power On newsletter last month, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman stated that Apple plans to launch a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air at its WWDC event. Gurman stated that Apple will reveal the machine alongside its major software updates such as iOS 17, watchOS 10, and many more. He also stated that the company will release its AR Headset alongside the new MacBook.

As for what you should expect, the 15-inch MacBook Air will be powered by the M2 chip at launch. The processor will potentially feature the same core configuration as the 13.6-inch variant. What this means is that you can expect a similar performance to the current version of the MacBook Air. Additionally, the design of the machine is also expected to be the same as the current version. The company is aiming to focus on the device's size instead of design at the launch, which will bring its own set of benefits to the table.

With the increased chassis, the 15-inch MacBook Air will come with a bigger battery and a bigger display. What this means is that the machine will be able to last hours longer than the 13.6-inch version. Since details are scarce at this stage, we will wait for Apple to announce the specifications of the device for an in-depth comparison. The larger MacBook Air will also come with a notched display, similar to the current version. Since the final word rests with Apple, the company could introduce some differentiating features.

This is all there is to it, folks. We will share more details on the device as soon as further information is available. Would Apple be able to retain demand for Macs with the release of the new MacBook Air? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
