The air floating up from Apples spaceship headquarters is starting to smell like fan-less laptop exhaust. In a post to X, Apple CEO Tim Cook tells fans there is something in the airand its probably the next MacBook Air. Sure, Cook doesnt give anything anyway, but unless something truly surprising happens we expect the MacBook Air M4 is on the horizon. The timing is right, considering Apple launched the M3 MacBook Air 13 and 15 last March. Recent reports from Bloombergs Mark Gurman hinted that wed see a MacBook Air reveal soon. In his latest newsletter, Gurman remarked Apple could launch the MacBook Air as early as this week. Apple may have more Airs in store. Gurman was first to note that Apple is winding down on iPad Air inventory, meaning we could have new iPad Airs with updated chips compared to last years 11- and 13-inch renditions with M2 silicon. Just dont assume well get the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Knowing Apples release schedule, that thin mobile device wont be around until later this year. We dont expect many major design changes for Apples next lightweight MacBook. Apple has kept the flat, squared MacBook aesthetic the same since the M2 MacBook Air. We have our money on Apple launching a 15- and 13-inch variant, just like last year. Recent benchmark leaks suggest Apple will keep the M4 chip the same across both MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, though likely with less graphical prowess on the shorter machine, like it was on the M3.Rumors also suggest we may see the MacBook Air support two displays as well as the display on the MacBook, if Apple upgrades ports to Thunderbolt 5 from Thunderbolt 4 on the M3 MacBook Air. Apples last big hardware drop, the iPhone 16e, came in the middle of the week with a similar teaser from Cook on DOGE captain Elon Musks favorite platform. Apple then announced its new, $600 iPhone six days later. The MacBook Air could get its reveal later this week, though we dont know if it will be as light and airy a launch as was Apples latest budget smartphone.
