If you’ve been thinking that Apple’s recent laptops are too big, we’ve got great news.

A new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurmanshed some light on Apple’s future MacBook plans, in the wake of the company announcing a new MacBook Airearlier this week at WWDC 2022. The most noteworthy point in Gurman’s report is that Apple is supposedly working on a new 12-inch MacBook for release either in late 2023 or early 2024.

Apple discontinued its last 12-inch MacBook in 2019, and hadn't upgraded it since 2017 when that happened. The new 12-inch model would most likely bring performance and feature enhancements over its predecessors, but Bloomberg’s report stated that it’s still a mystery as to whether it'll be a low- or high-end model.

We’d like to predict that it will use the new M2 silicon Apple unveiled at WWDC, but by 2024, we might be in an M3 world.

Another point of interest is an alleged 15-inch MacBook Air, a bump up from the 13.6-inch model at WWDC. It would be the biggest MacBook Air yet, but Bloomberg said it may not launch until next spring at the earliest. Apparently, the plan at one point was to show off the 15-inch model at this year's WWDC, but that didn’t work out.

Finally, new MacBook Pro machines with upgraded M2 Pro and M2 Max chips could launch by the end of 2022. Aside from new chips, they likely won’t be vastly different from existing models, per Bloomberg.

But really, that 12-inch model sounds adorable. Fingers crossed it doesn’t cost $1,500.
