Apple’s most popular MacBook could be upgraded with the M4 chip next year

Apple is now speculated to launch an updated MacBook Air with the M4 chipset next year, between January and March 2025. However, the update is not expected to involve a redesign; instead, it will resemble the current model, which features the M3 chipset, as reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. He states that Apple is anticipated to launch two versions of the MacBook Air with the M4 chipset: a 13-inch model and a 15-inch model, similar to the versions currently available.

MacBook Air M4: What This Means for Apple’s Upcoming Launch?

For those uninitiated, Apple is expected to unveil the updated MacBook Pro, redesigned Mac mini, and iMacs featuring the new M4 chipset family next week. This is likely to be an online-only release, akin to last year’s Scary Fast event. If Gurman’s predictions are accurate, it would mean that the new rumoured MacBook Air with the M4 chipset will not be showcased at next week’s event. If you’re interested in the MacBook Air with the M4 chipset, you’ll have to wait a bit longer.

Additionally, we have the highly anticipated iPhone SE 4, which is expected to feature Apple Intelligence capabilities, speculated for a spring release.
