Not even 24 hours ago, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman brought information that Apple is planning to release a new 12-inch MacBook — in late 2023 or early 2024 — and we already have more ideas (or rather speculation) than that could come around.
In yesterday’s story, Gurman didn’t specify which MacBook model this would be; To fill this “void”, the leaker identified as Majin Bu said today that the model in question will be a MacBook Pro, which could be equipped with the “M2 Pro” and “M2 Max” chips.

According to what my source reported, Apple is working on a new 12-inch MacBook Pro that will be released in 2023. We don’t know the processor yet, but it is supposed to be equipped with [the chips] “M2 Pro” and “M2 Max”, this suggests it could join the new 14-inch and 16-inch lineup.
It is worth noting that Gurman even talked about the next chips in the M2 line, suggesting that the “M2 Max” will feature a CPU.1 of 12 cores and a GPU2 of up to 38 cores.
Although this possibility seems remote, it is important to point out that Apple has launched low- and high-performance 12″ MacBooks in the past. In 2015, the company introduced an entry-level 12″ MacBook — which was discontinued in 2019. Even longer, in the mid-2000s, Apple released the then-top-of-the-line 12″ PowerBook G4, as MacRumors reporter Joe Rossignol recalled.
My immediate reaction was “no chance the rumored 12-inch model is a MacBook Pro,” but there is precedence for a higher-end model at this size: 12-inch PowerBook G4 from the mid-2000s. https://t.co/Hr3h3BT9jF

At the time, the notebook family looked like this:
It’s worth noting that Bu has gained notoriety in recent days after pointing out that Apple was working on a new 14.1″ iPad. The rumor has since been supported by credible analyst Ross Young and Mark Gurman himself .
