Apple has just unveiled a bunch of new products during its March 8 event. It introduced a new Mac Studio, iPhone SE 2022, and even the fifth generation of iPad Air as well. But now, a new report has shared information regarding the upcoming MacBook Air.
The news arrives from known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (Via MacRumors). While the Cupertino based giant has just launched new products, the company is still gearing up to debut new refreshes of its existing lineup of gadgets as well. Now, the analyst states that the 2022 MacBook Air will arrive with a new form factor design and more color options. Furthermore, the new laptop will not feature a tapered design, rather, the iPhone maker will now ship it with a more MacBook Pro-like design.
Furthermore, the 2022 MacBook Air is expected to be thinner and lighter, and may even launch in color options similar to the 24 inch iMac, which is available in blue, green, pink, silver, yellow, orange, and purple color options. It is even rumored to offer an off white bezel and a matching off white keyboard. This is a major shift away from its typical black keyboards.
Predictions for new MacBook Air in 2022:
1. Mass production in late 2Q22 or 3Q22
2. Processor: M1 chip
3. No mini-LED display
4. All-new form factor design
5. More color options— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) March 9, 2022
As per Kuo, the upcoming MacBook Air will run Apple’s M1 series chipset. The analyst claims that the MacBook Air will skip the Mini LED display that the company is reserving for its higher end MacBook Pro models. Notably, the mass production for the new MacBook Air will begin sometime in the second quarter of this year or possibly even the third quarter.
