- Apple is likely planning to launch several new products at the WWDC event.
- The WWDC event 2023 will begin on June 5th and will end on June 9th.

Tech giant Apple is planning to unveil a slew of products, such as iOS 17, and a mixed-reality headset, at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which will take place from June 5th to June 9th, 2023. However, a new Bloomberg report indicates that the upcoming event might also see the launch of a 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2-like chip. Developer logs show that Apple has started to test the new laptops with third-party apps from the App Store to make sure they work well together.
15-inch MacBook Air launch expected at WWDC
The test logs show that Apple is getting ready to release a laptop with a similar processor to current models but a bigger, higher-resolution screen. This model is probably the 15-inch MacBook Air that Apple planned to release this year.
Like the current M2, the chip in the upcoming laptop has eight main working cores and ten graphics cores. It has the same 8 gigabytes of memory as the current MacBook Air. The CPU still has four cores for high speed and four cores for low power use. The version of the Mac operating system that is on the Macs being tested is macOS 14, the report said.
Aside from the bigger MacBook Air, Apple is also working on bringing the 13-inch Air model, the 24-inch iMac, and the basic 13-inch MacBook Pro. However, it is unsure whether the company will unveil any of them during the WWDC event or not.
Apple WWDC event: what to expect
Apple is expected to reveal several new products and updates during the upcoming WWDC 2023 event. These include the mixed-reality headset, xrOS operating system and software development kit, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, a significant watchOS 10 update, and new MacBooks.
According to reports, the upcoming headset will feature Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) capabilities, and users will be able to switch between modes using a digital crown-like control knob. It is expected to come equipped with an external battery pack that must be worn by the user on their waist.
