Now it seems that we finally have a release date for the M2 MacBook Air.

It wasn’t long after the new(ish) MacBook Pro went on sale that we got to see some M2 speed benchmarks. These confirmed Apple’s claims in terms of improvements over the base M1 chip, but also confirmed that, as expected, the M1 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips still leave the M2 in the dust.

By the beginning of the year, DSSC said Apple was planning a 15-inch MacBook Air. Then, last week, Bloomberg reported that the company was indeed planning to launch this MacBook, alongside a 12-inch model for 2023. Now, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also has a few tidbits about Apple’s upcoming MacBooks.

Apple is reportedly set to expand its MacBook lineup with a pair of new screen sizes as soon as next year. According to Bloomberg, Apple could release a new 15-inch MacBook Air and 12-inch MacBook in 2023, representing two new additions to the MacBook lineup.

Apple officially unveiled a completely redesigned M2 MacBook Air at WWDC this week. While the new MacBook Air’s design is impressive, it does lack one thing many people were expecting: a range of color options. A new concept from our friend Parker Ortolani imagines the “MacBook Air that could’ve been,” with an array of colors and a two-tone design similar to the iMac.

Following reports of a new 14.1-inch iPad Pro coming next year, Apple is also reportedly developing new form factors for its MacBook lineup. According to Bloomberg, Apple is planning a 15-inch MacBook Air for 2023 as well as a new 12-inch laptop and upgrades to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

A sketchy report dating back to July of last year suggested that we’d see a new range of MacBook Air colors this year. This was given new life a month later when it was backed by Ming-Chi Kuo.

The pastel colors offered by the new iMac rekindled excitement about the idea, and many of us could see the merits in Apple offering same color choice for the MacBook Air. But Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently warned not to get too excited …

Excitement was generated yesterday when it appeared that a 14-inch MacBook Air was one of a number of “hidden product listings” discovered on the website of Apple authorized reseller B&H Photo. However, the company has responded by saying these are not real listings.

Not only were they just pre-event guesses, but they weren’t even guesses for this event …

We’ve been hearing rumors about a new redesigned MacBook Air for some time now, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported multiple times that there’s a high chance it will be introduced at WWDC 2022. Now the journalist has corroborated that the new MacBook Air was “planned” to be introduced at Apple’s developer conference. However, he claims that it may not be available in multiple colors as expected.

While we’re almost to WWDC 2022, customers are still facing long shipping estimates for their Apple devices. Supply chain issues have been plaguing Apple for months and will continue throughout the summer. Currently, the M1 MacBook Air is the only M1 Mac with delayed shipping. Most of the M1 MacBook Pro and M1 iMac models will ship this week.
