Apple is widely expected to unveil the 15-inch MacBook Air at WWDC 2023 next month. But various reports have claimed that the new MacBook Air flavor will not pack Apple’s upcoming M3 processors. As I explained before, that shouldn’t be a problem. An M2-powered 15-inch MacBook Air will be an incredible machine, both when it comes to performance and battery life.
But if a new leak is accurate, Apple might have to delay M3 MacBook and iPad models to next year. Apparently, TSMC is struggling to manufacture the next-gen System-on-Chip (SoC) that Apple needs for laptops and tablets. As a result, M3 hardware won’t hit store shelves in 2023.
