But if you want anything more impressive, you'll need to stick with one of the best monitors for MacBook Pro.īut that report also mentions that MagSafe will return to the MacBook Air, just as it has on the MacBook Pros, and I think that's very likely. I suspect Apple will hold the impressive HDR screens for its 'pro' machines for now, but we might see an improvement in the brightness of the MacBook Air's screen, as well as an increase in size (and, likely, resolution). This was added to with a leak that suggested the new MacBook Airs would get mini-LED screens just like the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, but I think this is unlikely. This information comes from a reported leak of the body of the new MacBook Airs, which was turned into a full render. The big thing about the MacBook Air, though, is that its rumoured to be significantly thinner and lighter than even the current model, and will come in a range of cool colours, like the 24-inch iMac, iPad Air (2020) and iPad mini 6. We don't really know what to expect from this, because the M1 is already miles ahead of the pack – it may just be small improvements in all areas. Naturally, the MacBook Air 2022 is expected to feature the next generation of Apple processor, which we're assuming will be called the M2. Speaking of which… MacBook Air 2022: expected features The new model might come in at more like £1200/$1200, with a sleeker design and tech improvements to justify its price. Some rumours and leaks have definitely led that way – there's a suggestion that the new model will have a larger screen, and that the existing model might drop down in price to make way.Ĭonsidering that the current MacBook Air is effectively always available with a £100/$100 discount, that would certainly seem possible. The current MacBook Air starts from £999/$999, so the big question here is whether to expect the new model to be a straight replacement to the current one, or whether Apple will actually bring the new model in as a higher-end version of the MacBook Air, kind of like how the new 14-inch MacBook Pro didn't replace the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020). So at this point, we'll hope for it to appear at the next Apple Event, but we won't hold our collective breath.

However, increasingly a number of high-profile leakers and analysts are switching to saying that it'll be in the second half of 2022. Throughout last year, stories were suggesting that the MacBook Air 2022 was likely to appear towards the end of 2021, or in the first half/middle of 2022.
