Mark Gurman: Apple plans to release 2024 MacBook Air models early next year. There are not many new things except the M3 chip.

CTOnews.com, December 10 (Xinhua)-- Apple plans to release a new generation of MacBook Air models (codenamed J613 and J615) with M3 chips within months, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman.

Apart from the M3 processor, this series of models do not bring many new features, but it is a very noteworthy existence in itself. after all, this generation represents today's most advanced 3nm chips and Apple's most productive machines.

Of course, the M3 version is not much better than the M2 version, so this generation of models is more aimed at existing M1 Mac or Intel Mac users. CTOnews.com Note: the 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip just went on sale in June this year.

In addition, Apple expects to upgrade the Mac Studio and Mac Pro by the end of 2024 at the earliest, but it is also possible to wait until 2025, when all models will use M3 chips.

At the same time, the launch of the M3 MacBook Air could also mean that Apple can finally phase out the 2020 M1 MacBook Air and sell the M2 MacBook Air, which was released in 2022, as a new low-end model.
