A new entry from Apple in a Bluetooth organization database points to a Mac and could be the as yet unannounced 15-inch MacBook Air.
Recent reports suggest that a 15-inch - or 15.5-inch - MacBook Air is set to enter mass production. Separately, a new Mac has been added to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group database, of which Apple is a "promoter." It is not specified that it is a Mac, nor that the device will feature Bluetooth 5.3. Until the device goes through the Bluetooth qualification process, it will reportedly not appear in the database's publicly available search results.
Is Apple preparing to introduce a 15″ MacBook Air?
The entry submitted on February 18, 2023 (via MacRumors) does, however, refer to a related "qualified design" related to macOS. This Bluetooth Launch Studio rarely seems to list specific Apple devices. A recent search shows just 10 results, the most recent of which follows this one and dates back to 2019. So it's not necessarily as early a reference to a new MacBook Air as an entry in the EEC database might be. It seems certain that Apple's entry refers to a new Mac. In this case, however, it could not only be the new MacBook Air but also the entry for the current generation of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, which launched in January.
