Apple might be launching a new 15-inch laptop — possibly a 15-inch MacBook Air — next year.

According to a report by Display Supply Chain Consultants (via 9to5Mac), the company is planning to release a laptop with a screen size of about 15 inches, while the current, 13.3-inch MacBook Air will also be slightly increased (though it will stay at 14 inches or below).

The report also claims Apple is working on an entry-level iPad with a "slightly larger" display."

A 15-inch MacBook Air is an interesting proposition, especially given previous evidence that Apple planned to launch such a device at one point. It would likely be a hit with students and everyone who needs a larger MacBook at an affordable price point.

Apple currently sells a 14-inch and a 16-inch MacBook Pro, but those start from $1,999 and $2,499, respectively, while the 13.3-inch MacBook Air starts at $1,299.

The report was corroborated by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on Twitter, with one key difference: Kuo doesn't think this new device will be called "MacBook Air." He says, however, that this laptop will likely use "the same 30W power adapter as MacBook Air," and that mass production is planned for the last quarter of 2023.
