A new Macbook is being added to Apple's lineup and we've been told it's a larger 15-inch MacBook Air
but a lot of you are wondering why are Apple even making a larger MacBook Air when we say
have the larger 16 inch MacBook Pro with the option of an M2 Pro M2 Max inside it why does
Apple need to make a larger version of one of these basically well today I'm going to explain
to you why I think Apple are making a larger MacBook Air so a very quick and brief history
lesson here the MacBook Air was first introduced in 2008 by Steve Jobs and he pulled it out of like
this paper envelope but was pretty cool and it came in at a 13 inch display around about 2010
or 2011-ish apple redesigned the MacBook Air again but also introduced an 11 inch MacBook Air and the
main reason why they introduced this MacBook Air it was because at the time we had netbooks they
were really really popular a lot of people want these small little dinky sort of laptops with
them and apple made the smaller MacBook Air for quite a few years and sort of retired it in the
mid 2010s era but talk about the mid-2010 sort of era around about 2015 the map for air became
Apple's most popular selling MacBook they were selling every single year and to this day the
13-inch MacBook Air is the most popular MacBook Apple still sell right now moving on though in
2018 we got another redesigned again and this time we got things like a retina display added to the
MacBook Air and then in 2020 we also got the M1 MacBook Air and it was one of the first devices
to get an Apple silicon chipset put inside it then only last year in 2022 around about four or five
years later Apple introduced the brand new Macbook Air like what I had right here with the M2 chipset
inside it it's a fantastic and new design and we also got a brand new sort of midnight color like
what you can see here and it is an absolutely beautiful machine the MacBook Air is regarded
as sort of the everyday machine as it were from Apple so this is kind of the sort of MacBook
if you want to do web browsing if you want to do some shopping or let's say you want to do social
media catch up or let's say you want to do some light photo and video editing too this is like
the Macbook so get your hands on and that's why it is so popular because for basically probably
about 95 of people's needs out there who just need a standard kind of MacBook or a laptop device this
MacBook is absolutely perfect now I say it's perfect but there's probably one thing that's
missing on this map but that a lot of people want from it and that is for it to actually have a bit
more of a larger display now we do have say the 16 inch MacBook Pro it's definitely a larger MacBook
but it's also quite a bit more pricier than say the M2 MacBook Air with a 13 inch display if
you want to upgrade by there's literally having a larger screen for those three extra inches you're
gonna have to basically pay over double the price of a MacBook Air the current M2 MacBook Air the
cheapest one you can get right now cost 1199 US Dollars where is the cheapest of 16-inch MacBook
Pro and M2 Pro chipset inside at its lowest sort of configuration will come in at 2 499 US dollars
as you can fully understand a lot of people are not willing to spend double the price of one of
these to get themselves a 16 inch MacBook Pro just to increase their screen by an extra three inches
or so so straight away you can see that Apple need to sort of bridge that Gap right now now you could
also argue at the stage well Matt there is the 14 inch MacBook Pro what about that but still even
that costs eight hundred dollars more than the actual M2 MacBook Air and again just to get say
about half an inch bigger screen it's not really worth it going for that MacBook Pro and paying 800
for just basically half an inch screen bigger sort of display well the good news is it does
seem like that Gap is finally going to be filled we've had lots of leaks and rumors floating around
for ages that a larger MacBook Air is on its way it's basically this sort of larger brother
of the normal MacBook Air very similar sort of configuration but mainly the big difference is
it's just definitely that larger display and personally in my opinion I think this larger
MacBook Air is going to be coming in around about 1 399 US Dollars now you're probably wondering how
I've managed to Guess that kind of price range well to be honest it kind of makes sense if we
look at the MacBook Pros that we have right now the 14 inch and also the 16 inch models right
now if you configured a 14 inch MacBook Pro with the sort of standard M2 Pro chipset inside it so
this is the one with the 12 core CPU and also the 19 core GPU and also this is also the low
a sort of MacBook Pro M2 that you can get or M2 Pro you can get inside a 16 inch MacBook Pro you
can see here the difference between them is only 200 so right now if the M2 MacBook Air is costing
us 1199 US dollars or basically 1 200 it makes sense for the 15 inch MacBook Air to come in
around about 200 more will basically be about 1 399 US dollars or 1 400 and this to me makes
a good sort of price sort of raise for apple to make this MacBook Air at because like I said it
would basically mean 600 more you can get the 14 inch MacBook Pro and remember that Pro rage is
for the pros and this sort of MacBook Air and the larger MacBook Air is kind of sort of for
everybody else out there and there still needs to be a bit of a gap in the sort of price range
so 600 in my opinion is more than enough and I definitely think that this MacBook Air is going
to be a great model for Apple to sell as I've said already I think the 15-inch MacBook Air will look
very similar to this 13 inch MacBook Air that we have right now I don't believe we're going to be
getting any more ports or anything like that right now we do actually just have sort of the magsafe
port and we also have the two USB ports or USBC Thunderbolt ports here as well and I think this
is going to be the same on the 15-inch MacBook Air remember at the end of the day with the 14
inch and 16 inch MacBook Pros they are basically both identical in design on the outside and also
with ports you get the same amount of ports and you also get basically the same similar design
for both of these devices and it makes sense for Apple to do exactly the same here with a larger
MacBook Air remember we have the same sort of idea with iPhones right now so for example the iPhone
14 and the iPhone 14 plus look basically the same and then the same with the iPhone 14 pro and the
iPhone 14 pro Max they just look exactly the same except for that one model is slight larger and I
believe Apple are not going to go out of their routine and change things to make things a bit
different for the 15-inch MacBook Air personally in my opinion it's going to be the same as this
MacBook Air that we have right here but just basically with a larger display inside it and
basically all the same technology too so what I mean by same technology if the 13-inch mapper air
right now just has a retina display and that's an LED one expect the 15 inch model to have exactly
the same at a 60 hertz we're probably not going to get that Pro motion put inside a MacBook Air
it just doesn't make sense for Apple to do that with a larger model of this model that we have
here another question that's been asked around right now is will the new 15-inch model have an
M2 or an M3 chipset inside it and I think that still needs to be decided right now and one of
my other videos I made recently talked about this of when we could possibly either see an
M2 and M3 inside the 15 inch MacBook Air and do check out that video on my channel if you
want more information about that but what I do think is the configuration for the MacBook
airs will always be the same going forwards just like the MacBook Pros the 14 and 16 inch models
will always be the same configuration always going forwards it just makes sense for Apple to do this
but there is one extra feature one extra thing I do want to talk about where I'd say the 15
inch MacBook Air will excel on every other MacBook that exists out there and I believe that is to do
with battery life right now if we look at the M2 MacBook Air the battery life on that is 18 hours
in this 13 inch sort of configuration that we have right now what was up to basically 18 hours if we
have a look here at the MacBook Pros including that M2 MacBook Pro the 13 inch with the touch
bar you can see right here that we actually get up to 20 hours inside that then the 14 inch model
because it's got that M2 Pro chipset was draining a bit more power inside it you get up to 18 hours
and then the 16 inch model you can see you get up to 22 hours personally because we're going to have
the M2 chipset or even an M3 chipset no Pro or no Max inside the 15 inch MacBook Air I personally
believe because of its larger size and basically larger body at the bottom you're going to be able
to some more battery size inside that also Apple will be able to put a bigger battery inside and
personally with that efficiency of just being a standard M2 or M3 chipset I personally believe
that we'll probably be getting maybe 23 or even 24 hour battery life in a MacBook Air was absolutely
amazing it will definitely be the sort of longest largest sort of battery life inside a Macbook ever
and remember at the end of the day we do actually have the same right now with the iPhone so the
iPhone 14 plus funny enough a majority of tests not all but most tests the actual battery life
is actually longer than what we get in say the 14 pro Max it's not by much but it's only slightly
more but still it does hail to having the best battery life in an iPhone and I think we're going
to be seeing the same with the 15-inch MacBook Air 2. the final thing I want to say about the
15-inch MacBook Air is right now as I said near the beginning of this video the 13 inch MacBook
Air the best selling MacBooks at Apple cell right now and I believe that is going to change possibly
in the next year or two I personally believe that this 15-inch MacBook Air is going to basically
just break through and everybody will want to buy that instead for the majority of users don't get
me wrong we also have a lot of people buying the 13 inch MacBook Air a lot of people buying say the
13-inch MacBook Pro the 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pros too they'll be super popular as well but
I just believe that this new sort of 15 inch MacBook Air especially if it has the longest
battery life out there and also that it's in such a cool and Sleek design similar to this 13 inch
one and it's also quite light too I believe this will be Apple's best-selling MacBook that they'll
be selling every single year but what are your thoughts on this do you think Apple need to make a
15 inch MacBook Air and if they do do you think it will also be the best selling MacBook that Apple
will sell I would love to know your thoughts Below in the comments so please do put them
