M4 MacBook Air, Mac Studio, M3 iPad Air: launch is Imminent!!!!

"I expect the M4 MacBook Air to be introduced as early as this week," said Gurman, in a post shared on X today. "Inventory has significantly wound down and Apple is preparing a Mac-related announcement in the next few days."

Apple is expected to release new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models featuring the M4 chip, which was introduced last year. The M4 chip, with a 10-core CPU and GPU, offers up to 25% faster multi-core performance compared to the M3 chip. Last October, Apple also increased the base RAM for MacBook Air models from 8GB to 16GB, with options potentially going up to 32GB. The new models are likely to feature improved battery life and an upgraded 12-megapixel camera with Center Stage and Desk View capabilities, previously limited to newer iPads and certain Macs. Additionally, the new MacBook Airs may include three Thunderbolt 4 ports (up from two Thunderbolt 3 ports) and support for up to two external displays, even with the lid open. While the latest MacBook Pro and iMac models offer a nano-texture display option to reduce glare, it’s unclear if this feature will extend to the MacBook Air.
