As with the recently redesigned MacBook Air, which now features a notch display and is powered by Apple's new M2 processor, expect the new MacBook Air to come with a premium price tag.
Earlier this year, Apple replaced the iPhone Mini with an iPhone 14 Plus. Similar to the iPad Air, the regular iPad now features a Liquid Retina display and a 5G processor, albeit at a higher price. Having the Air go to a 15.5-inch display suggests that Tim Cook and company want to keep up their objective of giving customers additional alternatives.

Regular users had a tendency to like MacBook Airs, and the attractiveness of the Air was largely attributed to its lightweight construction and compact screen. However, the 15.5-inch MacBook Air model can provide these characteristics; it might only be useful to individuals who desired a larger MacBook Air screen. In either case, it won't be long before we see the MacBook Air on the market, at which point we will be better able to assess it whether Apple has changed its strategy.
