Apple last redesigned the MacBook Air with the M2 model, and per a supply chain leaker, the new Air almost came in the sort of fun colors that are expected for the forthcoming ‘MacBook.’
M2 MacBook Air redesign was tested in vibrant colors, like what’s coming for new ‘MacBook’
There are a variety of new Apple products expected to launch very soon as part of the March 4 special press event.
Among them is a brand new ‘MacBook’ with no suffix, reviving the brand years after the previous 12-inch MacBook was discontinued.
This MacBook is expected to come at a low cost, estimated around $699, and be offered in a variety of “fun colors.” Per Bloomberg:
Over the past year, Apple has tested options such as light yellow, light green, blue, pink, classic silver and dark gray — though it’s unlikely all of these will ship.
Previously, Ming Chi-Kuo reported that the new MacBook may come in blue, pink, silver, and yellow.
Interestingly though, ahead of the product’s unveiling, Weibo leaker Instant Digital has shared that similar colors were previously tested for a different product: the MacBook Air.
Per the translated post:
When they were developing the MacBook Air M2, they also planned to use this refreshing color scheme, but unfortunately it wasn’t released.
The M2 MacBook Air was the last time the Air line got a hardware redesign. Every model since then has retained the same design. Though Apple did branch out slightly with colors last year with the Sky Blue M4 model.
It’s unclear whether Apple already had plans several years ago for the low-cost MacBook to arrive. Perhaps so, and that’s why it pivoted the color options for the Air line. But it’s an interesting tidbit nonetheless.
Do you think the MacBook Air should come in more fun, vibrant colors? Let us know in the comments.
