New 15.5-inch MacBook Air rumored to arrive in early 2023
Rumors continue to suggest that a new MacBook Air with a 15-inch display exists, and it is coming in the spring of 2023.

A larger MacBook Air could be on the way
The 15-inch MacBook Air has been rumored since early 2021, but little has been shared about the potential machine beyond its display size. Now that the M2 MacBook Air has been released, rumors are beginning to solidify around the new larger product.
According to a paywalled tweet from display supply chain analyst Ross Young, the new MacBook Air would have a 15.5-inch display, a change from his previous 15.2-inch display prediction. It is expected to be released in the spring of 2023.
Leaker and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also shared details about an upcoming 15-inch MacBook Air. However, he believed it wouldn't go into production until late 2023, and it may not be called a MacBook Air.
When multiple rumors point to a product's existence, it usually means Apple is at least planning for the product's release. There are no guarantees that this MacBook will see the light of day, not until Apple announces the product and release window.

Can they really drive it to $1600? Feels doubtful.
Compared to elegance and weight of the Intel 16 - that I have have, the M1 Pro is just a big hunk of overweight ugliness.
With t he energy sipping of the M1 chips, it would have still had substantial battery runtime had it maintain its form factor, after all a lap should be designed for portableily and use one lap... but not that beat.
It reminds me of the British research ship that was nicknamed Boaty McBoatface and is similarly the shape that only a mother coudl love.
Anyway I do hope the MacBook Air 15.5 rumor is true as I need a larger screen - but would never buy the behemoth that is the MacBook Pro 16 M1
I finally saw them last night in the flesh and what a disappointment.
Yes the iPhone 9 or 10 were too thin, but really the 14 Pros have gotten out of hand
I do agree with you that there needs to be a 15" class laptop Mac from $1500 to $2000. Apple's been shoehorning the 2-port MBP13 in those price slots for basically 7 years now, and it's basically become upsell fodder now. It's the worst of the Apple Silicon Macs. If Apple comes out with the MBA15, that's going to be a nice product. Puts a lot of sales pressure on the MBP14/16 though. Apple will have to put in some great features in the MBP14/16 to get people to get them over a MBA15. Something more than miniLED and more compute. Not sure what, but they should come up with something if this MBA15 comes to pass.
a MacBook Air with a little bit more screen just seems like an exercise in no point.
I loved my 12" MacBook as a portable - just toss it in a bag without worrying about whether it's worth bringing along - and with an M2 it would have been a killer replacement and machine in general. 🤷♂️ (I really like my 14" MBP too, fantastic machine, but as a portable the 12" MacBook was just perfection.)
