Last minute MacBook Air leaks hint at delayed release and new colours
In This Article
Fresh reports suggest that Apple could reveal a newMacBook Air 2022today during theWWDC 2022conference.
However,Bloomberg’s Mark Gurmanclaims Apple may decide on a ‘non-immediate release date’ with Covid-related closures of factories in China seemingly leading to delays in production.
Apple analystMing-Chi Kuohas backed up these claims by suggesting the MacBook Air won’t start shipping until the second half of 2022, with the company aiming to launch between 6 and 7 million units.
Mark Gurmanhas also revealed that Apple may launch two new colours for the MacBook Air, including both ‘dark blue’ and ‘champagne-like gold’ options. Apple will also reportedly retain the classic space grey and silver colours if you prefer a more low-key design.
This implies that the MacBook Air won’t have as many colour options as the latest24-inch iMac, contradicting previous rumours from the likes ofJon Prosser.
So what can we expect to see from the new MacBook Air? It’s been tipped to see a major makeover, with a slimmer, lighter design as well as a potential notch to make it look more similar to the latestMacBook Pro.
It looks like the next MacBook Air will stick to the existingApple M1processor and so won’t see a performance upgrade. A newM2chip had been touted, but the second-generation processor ofApple Siliconis not expected to arrive until 2023.
Of course, this is all based on rumour and speculation right now, but we potentially won’t have to wait long to find out the official details from Apple. Keep an eye on Trusted Reviews for all of the latest news and developments.
