Apple recently released a new MacBook Pro. Apple’s latest laptop comes with brand new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips under the hood. Not only on the inside, Apple has also made design changes, adding more ports and a notch at the top of the display. This is most likely the last launch of Apple laptops this year. So the rumor mill has turned its attention to the next one, which will likely be the 2022 MacBook Air. Tipster Dylan, who is well versed in his Apple product leaks, has revealed some key details of the upcoming 2022. Macbook Air. Let’s take a look at the 2022 MacBook Air specs, features, and other details that have been leaked.
Specifications for Apple MacBook Pro
Apple is rumored to release a new MacBook Air in mid-2022, according to Dylan. This suggests that the new Air laptop could be unveiled at WWDC 2022. Apple usually hosts its developer event in June of each year, and we can expect the company to unveil its entry-level MacBook at that event. Dylan also notes that Apple may simply be calling the laptop “MacBook”rather than “MacBook Air.”
He also notes that the 2022 MacBook Air could borrow some features from the Pro laptop. These include a mini LED display, MagSafe charging, a full-size keyboard with function keys, a 1080p webcam, and more. What the Air model won’t get is an SD card slot, an HDMI port, and a fan under the hood to keep everything cool. According to the speaker, Apple will also keep the ProMotion 120Hz display technology exclusive to the MacBook Pro.
In terms of design, Air 2022 will get white bezels around the display. Tipster John Prosser has made a similar claim in the past. Dylan confirms Prosser’s previous leak and states that the upcoming Air MacBook will have multiple color options, just like the iMac. We can expect it to come in yellow, orange, blue, purple, silver, etc. The 2022 MacBook Air won’t have a wedge design and is said to be a little thinner.
The most notable update will be the performance module. Apple is said to introduce a new M2 chip for the MacBook Air next year. Details about the next chip remain unknown. We can expect it to match or slightly increase the power compared to the M1 Pro/Max chips while offering better efficiency. More details may leak out in the coming weeks.
