Apple launched the latest generation MacBook Air with the M3 processor and some additional improvements. It’s usual for the company to discount the older generation model when the new one gets announced. This means that the MacBook Air M2 is now cheaper. There’s also unfortunate news as the Cupertino-based tech giant has surprisingly discontinued the 15-inch Air M3 along with the aging M1 Air.
MacBook Air M2 gets price cut, two models discontinued
Apple has permanently slashed the prices of the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 across the world. Thanks to the release of the M3 variant, the previous generation now starts at $999 instead of $1,099 in the US. This means that the device is now cheaper by $100. In India, the M2 Air now carries a starting price tag of Rs 99,900 which is down by Rs 14,000 from Rs 1,14,900. The new prices are already reflected on Apple’s official website. It’s worth noting that all the RAM and storage configurations of the MacBook Air M2 have received a price cut.
The MacBook Air M2 comes in 13 and 15-inch options. The former launched in 2022 whereas the latter arrived at last year’s WWDC. Aside from the discounted price, Apple has made a surprising move by axing the 15-inch MacBook Air which is not even a year old. The device is not listed on the Cupertino-based tech giant’s official website. Apple did not make an official statement on this matter.
The aging MacBook Air M1 that debuted way back in 2020 is also discontinued. It was one of the first laptops powered by the company’s first-generation silicon.
The 15-inch MacBook Air M2 and Air M1 could still be available on e-commerce platforms and authorized resellers until stocks last.
