At WWDC 2023 , Apple introduced another unexampled laptop to its card : the15 - inch MacBook Air . It joins the13 - inch MacBook Air,13 - inch MacBook Pro , and 14 - inch and16 - inch MacBook Proas the newest laptop computer sporting the new microprocessor chip . There ’s just one job : Apple seem to have forgotten the 13 - inch MacBook Pro exist .
In a slide during the WWDC tonic , Apple showed a picture of the Mac batting order following the completion of the modulation to Apple silicon : the Mac Pro , iMac , Mac Studio , and Mac miniskirt , alongside the 14 - inch and 16 - in MacBook Pro , and 13 - inch and 15 - in MacBook Air . prominently absent from the interlingual rendition are the 13 - in MacBook Pro and M1 MacBook Air .

It makes sense to exclude the Air from the figure since it ’s two and a half geezerhood older . But the 13 - inch professional ? What pass on ? The only explanation is that Apple does n’t actually recollect anyone will buy it , which is basically true . With the 13 - in MacBook Air ’s price cut to $ 1,099 , it ’s now $ 200 less than the 13 - column inch MacBook Pro with a similar C.P.U. , good screen , and newer pattern . And for the same $ 1,299 , you may get a bigger and better filmdom with the 15 - column inch MacBook Air .
I did n’t understand why Apple updated the 13 - inch MacBook Pro last year when it launch the redesign MacBook Air with an M2 processor , and I understand it even less now . It has a slower central processor than the other MacBook Pros , a small screen than either of the MacBook Airs and a six - year - one-time design . Even if you really love the Touch Bar , there are many more reason to buy a unlike M2 MacBook . And Apple appears to think the same as us : There ’s no reason for the 13 - inch MacBook Pro to exist .

There are report that Apple still plan on updating the 13 - inch MacBook Pro with an M3 processor in 2024 . perchance it will . But Apple postulate to remember it exists first .
