APPLE insiders and fans have been roused by rumors signaling a new Macbook could launch next week.
Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will kick off live from Apple Park in Cupertino, California next Monday.

Some products are more likely than others to be unveiled at WWDC.
The next generation of iPhone software, iOS 16, is a near guarantee for introduction whereas Apple’s VR headset is likely staying out of the public eye.
Almost 85% of Apple’s revenue comes from products – and products have to launch to sell.
Clues about the new Macbook Air 2022 going live at WWDC have been peppered into written and spoken correspondence from and about Apple.
TechRadar’s Senior computing editor Matt Hanson flagged the shortage of Macboook Airs currently on the market.
“If Apple is planning a new MacBook Air, then it could explain why stock is drying up,” Hanson wrote.
He conceded that Apple has been burned by supply chain strains and a lack of inventory does not mean they’re planning to roll out a new product.
But it’s been two years since the last Air launched, and Apple isn’t one to let innovation stall.

Relatedly, Apple insider Mark Gurman broke news that Apple had been testing a successor to the M1 computing chip.
Gurman says details about the M2 chips are written in developer logs which were confirmed by Apple engineers.
Apple could still reveal the next Macbook Air’s engine without launching the device itself.
The Macbook Air has gone through three major revisions – if revealed to have a new body at WWDC, the Macbook Air 2022 would be the fourth.
There’s excitement in the air about a brand new line of Macbooks, but there are no guarantees falling from the Apple tree.
