Apple’s M4 MacBook Air reportedly set to launch tomorrow

Following the introduction of the M3 iPad Air, Apple appears to have more hardware announcements on the way, with reports suggesting that the long-anticipated MacBook Air with the M4 chip is set to be unveiled as soon as tomorrow.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new MacBook Air is part of Apple’s latest wave of product updates and will be announced via a press release, similar to the iPad Air’s reveal. While previous reports had suggested the new MacBook Air would debut earlier than the refreshed iPad lineup, those timelines have since shifted, placing the MacBook Air launch shortly after its tablet counterpart.

The upcoming MacBook Air refresh is expected to introduce the M4 chip, bringing better power efficiency, faster performance, and enhanced AI capabilities. While Apple is not expected to change the device’s design, the new MacBook Air models—available in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes—are likely to feature Thunderbolt 4 ports, a Center Stage-enabled front camera, and improved battery life.

Apple’s choice to upgrade the MacBook Air to the M4 chip so soon after the introduction of M3 Macs suggests a strategic shift toward faster chip iterations, particularly as the company continues to focus on AI-driven enhancements across its product lineup.

While the details remain unofficial, the M4 MacBook Air is widely expected to launch without a dedicated event, following Apple’s recent trend of unveiling hardware updates via online announcements. If the reports are accurate, consumers won’t have to wait much longer to see how Apple’s latest laptop refresh stacks up against its predecessor.
