The MacBook Air has been available unchanged for well over a year, but work on the successor is progressing. However, Apple's most popular calculator could disappoint on one important point, as Ming-Chi Kuo - Apple insider and expert - currently reveals.
At the Apple event in March, Apple held back with news about mobile Macs, only the Mac Studio was presented together with the Apple Studio Display - a very potent desktop computer with visual borrowings from the Mac mini, but with a clear professional alignment. But the current year will also bring us new MacBooks . The most eagerly awaited: The MacBook Air 2022.
MacBook Air 2022: M1 instead of M2 – expert commits himself
Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the most well-known and reliable insiders, devotes his latest prediction to said calculator (Source: Ming-Chi Kuo via MacRumors). He first confirms a number of already known assumptions from the rumor scene:
Completely new design - flat and angular, based on the MacBook Pro. More colors, not unlike the iMac selection. No mini LED screen, this feature is reserved for the Pro models.And then the great news follows, because instead of the long-supposed M2, there is actually only supposed to be an Apple M1 in the case . So not a new Apple chip for the airhead among MacBooks after all? Kuo is sure of that and repeats the statement to his MacRumors colleagues. However, he hints that this could be a modified version of the existing M1. Whether that could mean an M1 Pro remains unanswered. But that would be rather inappropriate, after all, the chip belongs in the MacBook Pro by its name, not in the MacBook Air.
The latest mobile Mac innovation from Apple:
In the end, there is a risk of a big disappointment, after all, the industry has so far assumed the Apple M2 , the successor to the first in-house Mac chip. Nothing could come of it now and customers would have to bury their hopes.
We can expect something like this with the MacBook Air 2022:
How long do we have to wait for Apple?
And when should the performance take place? Kuo speaks of the mass production of the MacBook Air 2022 in the late second quarter or in the third quarter of the year . In other words, production will start in the summer. Apple could then show the computer in late summer or early autumn - we assume August or September.
