MacBook rumors say that there is only a great improvement in Apple plans for this year, and it’s the 2021 MacBook Pro. The air is due for a massive redesign too, but it does not come before next year. This is what recent reports have announced and a trusted insider is back with more details about the new redesign of the MacBook Air. The laptop will come in several colors, an affirmation we have heard before. The fragrance adds that the air 2022 will look like Prosigned Pro laptops. More importantly, the new MacBook Air will also offer buyers a massive upgrade to display, according to the pro.
Last November, Apple blurred the lines between the MacBook Air and Pro when it unveiled the custom M1 processor. The 2020 air and pro models have switched the same silicon. The M1 also found themselves in the models of 2020 Mac Mini, 2021 IMAC and 2021 iPad Pro. It meant that the air and pro offered the same performance. Well, it’s almost the same because the Basic Pro has an additional GPU core and active cooling that allows it to perform intensive tasks of resources for longer periods.
Cash performance, the MacBook Air and Pro still have distinctive designs. However, if the last claim of Ming-Chi Kuo is accurate, the new air will look like that of the MacBook Pro that Apple is about to introduce.
New redesign of the air MacBook
According to Macrumors, the analyst stated in a new search note that Apple plans to launch a new MacBook air at mid-2022.
The laptop will have a “new design”, similar to the 2021 MacBook Pro. The new PRO laptops will be supposed to contain top and bottom edges. They will also offer users to access more ports and bring Magsafe. It is not known whether the new air would also have these 2021 MacBook Pro design elements.
KUO said the new air will be available in different colors, which other leaks said earlier this year.
The big display upgrade
More important than color options or design is the upgrade of the screen. The new MacBook Air will have a mini-LED screen. This is the same Apple display technology used for iPad Pro 12.9 inches this year. 14-inch 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook professionals will also include mini-LED screens.
KUO says the Chinese BoE screen manufacturer will provide MINI-LED Apple screens will use for the MacBook air. During this time, LG, Foxconn GIS and Sharp will bring mini-LED screens for MacBook Pro models.
Finally, the analyst could also have some news about the price of the air. He stated that it was not sure that Apple continues to sell the Macbook M1 once the mini-LED model arrives. If the M1 MacBook Air stays in stock, it will remain the cheapest air of the Apple range. If the M1 model is interrupted, the new MacBook Air will start at $ 999.
This prediction implies that the MacBook AIR does not get any chip upgrade this year, while the MacBook Pro will be supposed to move to the M1x chip.
