The rumored 12-Inch MacBook with Apple Silicon, a 2024 perspective and latest updates.
Background: The 12-inch MacBook with Retina display, was a line of notebooks launched in 2015. It contained a sleek, thin design, with 4 colors at the time of the 2015 launch. It contained one USB-C port, the first for Apple. It also contained the infamous Butterfly keyboard, a shallow keyboard ridden with issues. In terms of power, the 2015 version contained Intel Broadwell Core M processors with Intel 5300 graphics, the 2016 version contained Intel Skylake Core M processors with Intel HD 515 Graphics, and the 2017 version contained Intel Kaby Lake m3, i5 and i7 processors. The MacBook 12-inch was discontinued in 2019 with the launch of the second generation Retina Macbook Air.
The current situation: With the launch of Apple silicon Mac's, many people speculated that a new 12-inch MacBook was coming. In January 2023, Gurman said that a 12-inch MacBook was no longer on the company's near-term roadmap, but stopped short of ruling the device out completely, meaning that it being pushed into 2024 or later may still be possible.
