The 13in MacBook Pro are great, but should they be classed with the 14in and 16in Models that are truly pro machines? We also have a roundup of rumours about the 2022 MacBook Pro. The range is a little complicated currently, with two MacBook Air, two 13in MacBook Pro and then the two 14in MacBook Pro and three 16in MacBook Pro. Such a change would simplify the line up. So it’s possible that the rumours Mac laptop marks the return of the MacBook, which Apple discontinued in 2019 and was recently made vintaged by Apple.Ī new MacBook variant could be a replacement for the 13in MacBook Pro as well as a successor to the MacBook Air. We’re assuming for the sake of this article that Apple will stick with the MacBook Air name for the next revision, but when he first shared rumors about the redesign Jon Prosser noted that his sources hadn’t confirmed that it was a MacBook Air. In this case the starting price could be less than the current £999/$999. Should the new model come in at the top of the range we would expect Apple to drop the price of the current models, which could mean that the entry-level MacBook Air sees a price drop to £849/$899 while the new model, with its new design, comes in at £1,349/$1,399.īack in December 2020 Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made a prediction that Apple will launch a new, more “affordable” MacBook Air in 2022.

Read: Redesigned MacBook Air to begin production in summer 2022. While Kuo’s prediction could indicate a June launch, a fall launch does seem more likely. Kuo also tweeted (below) that he expects Apple to start mass production of the redesigned MacBook Air in the late second or early third quarter of 2022. This is based on the predictions of analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in September 2021. Instead we expect the new MacBook Air to launch in autumn 2022. An WWDC appearance for the new MacBook Air is possible, but at this point we’d count it as a long shot. With the next Apple event scheduled for WWDC on June 6 there will be some anticipation that a new MacBook Air could be unveiled during the keynote. Obviously that didn’t transpire, but it does indicate that this isn’t a new project at Apple.

The new MacBook Air has been a long time coming: there were suggestions early in 2021 that we could see a new MacBook Air that year. We’ll evaluate when in 2022 a new MacBook Air will launch, if it will have an M2 chip, and we’ll take a look at the anticipated features and improvements. In this article we’ll investigate what’s in store for the new MacBook Air.
