      Apple hasn’t historically announced iPads or new Macs at the iPhone event. They’ve typically done that at separate October events.

    If they keep their existing ones, they will have 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 inch laptops. That seems a bit inefficient from a manufacturing standpoint, doesn’t it?

      Apple changed the 13” and 15” MacBook Pros to 14” and 16” when they did their first redesign after introducing Apple Silicon. They kept one low-cost 13” model around using the old unibody Touch Bar design. They haven’t made a 17” MacBook Pro since 2009.

      So right now it’s just 13”, 14”, and 16”. Two modern chassis and a legacy chassis taking advantage of existing manufacturing capabilities.

        13 and 15 are air 14 and 16 are pros.

        They released a 15 air this year. Frankly I would love a 11-12 MacBook.

          Ah yeah, I hadn’t considered they meant across Apple’s entire laptop offerings.

          It’s still a slightly odd observation to make. Apple’s famous in the industry for having a streamlined catalog. Most PC vendors have 4-5 brands/lines with 4-5 chassis in each.
