Mark Gurman, in a fresh report for Bloomberg:
Apple Inc. is ramping up testing of fresh Macs with processors on par with the current M2 chip, making headway on key new machines that could help reverse a sales decline.
The Mac maker has begun testing the new machines with third-party apps from the App Store to validate their compatibility, according to developer logs shared with Bloomberg News. That’s a necessary step in the run-up to the launch of a new device.
One of the new machines is believed to be the long-rumored 15-inch MacBook Air, and reportedly has the same number of cores and amount of memory as the current 13-inch M2 MacBook Air.
Previously, it had been reported that the 15-inch model would usher in the M3 era, but I always felt that this summer seemed a little too soon for another generational change. Either way, this machine is going to be exciting for a lot of folks.
