With Apple constantly working on new updates, tech fans are already looking ahead to the next MacBook Air. While we don’t know everything yet, early reports are starting to give us a good idea of what the MacBook Air M4 might look like, including when it might drop and what design changes, if any, it will have.
Apple MacBook Air M4 Rumors
Design
As for the design, the MacBook Air M4 is expected to keep the same look as the 2022 M2 models. It’s rumored that there won’t be any major changes to the chassis or display size. The M4 will likely come in 13-inch and 15-inch versions, staying true to the current form factor. Production is set to begin soon, with display shipments expected to start in October. The biggest update will probably be the new M4 chip, which should offer better performance compared to the previous models. According to MacRumors, possible new features may include a Center Stage camera and an upgrade from Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Release Date
The MacBook Air M4 is expected to launch in Q1 of 2025, likely between January and March. Since the M3 models came out in March 2024, March 2025 seems like a strong possibility. While it’s possible for it to launch a bit earlier, a release early in 2025 seems more likely. It should be available well before the back-to-school season.
