The MacBook Air, which is one of Apple’s best-selling laptops, is said to be available in 13-inch and 15-inch screen sizes, replacing the existing M2-powered models. The laptop is known for its thin and light design, long battery life and high performance.

Apple is also planning to launch a refreshed iPad Air and a larger iPad Air, according to Gurman. The iPad Air is a mid-range tablet that offers some of the features of the iPad Pro, such as a 10.9-inch edge-to-edge screen, a USB-C port and a Touch ID sensor. The larger iPad Air could have a 12.9-inch display, similar to the iPad Pro.

However, Apple has not officially confirmed any of these details. Apple is also expected to reveal more about its software and services at its WWDC event in June, where it usually showcases the latest versions of its operating systems, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS.

Meanwhile, in 2023, Apple secured the top spot for annual shipments in the Chinese market for the first time. Its shipments increased by 1 percent year-on-year, reaching 51.8 million units, and its market share rose to 19 percent. Canalys, the latest market research firm, reported that Vivo, Oppo, and Honor were closely competing for market share, with each capturing a 16 percent share. Their annual shipments were 44.5 million, 43.9 million, and 43.6 million units, respectively.
