There is a possibility that the MacBook Air 2022 may include the most significant reimagining in years, as well as an increase in power.

Since the new MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch with the M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs were announced last year, rumours of a new MacBook Air 2022 have persisted. All expectations are on Apple to create an even more spectacular version of its inexpensive ultraportable after the success of the new laptops and the still potent MacBook Air with M1.

According to Dell and Asus’ small and light notebooks, the MacBook Air’s design is becoming a touch dated. Improvements may be made in terms of both appearance and processing power.

According to current MacBook Air 2022 rumours, the new design will have reduced display bezels, an M2 chip, and a wide range of new colours. Check out the following sections to learn more about the rumoured MacBook Air 2022.

MacBook Air rumour and news for 2022

A revamped MacBook Air is expected in 2022, according to Apple source Mark Gurman.

Leaked Apple computer aided design files suggest the MacBook Air 2022 will not have a notch.

The MacBook Air 2022 release date is conceivable.

Although Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman had earlier predicted that the MacBook Air 2022 will be released in the second half of 2022, we haven’t heard anything concrete about that prediction.

As a result, we’re left with a lot of speculation. A new MacBook Air might be announced in spring of 2022, based on Apple’s past MacBook Air launches. It would also provide a viable alternative to Apple’s next MacBook Pro, which is expected to be very expensive and geared for professionals.

The MacBook Air 2022 is anticipated to be accompanied by a MacBook Pro 2022 in the second half of 2022, according to a credible tech source. As expected, this date falls within the previously speculated time frame.

Speculation on the pricing of the MacBook Air in 2022

Air is now the cheapest MacBook option, starting at $999. For the most part, we anticipate Apple to continue to this price strategy in order to remain competitive with Windows laptops.

However, like with many Apple products, the price will rise if you decide to add more RAM or storage.

Apple’s MacBook Air 2022 design

Because the expected next-generation MacBook Air 2022 is believed to receive a revamp, you should wait for that model instead of the MacBook Air with M1.

The upcoming MacBook Air is likely to have thinner bezels, which is one of the five improvements we’d want to see. A notch in the display might potentially signify a camera on the top, as shown on the MacBook Pro 2021 and predicted by Jon Prosser’s render.

Another set of images, this time using CAD blueprints purportedly from Apple itself, shows a MacBook Air 2022 without a notched display after all. For those who are adamantly opposed to the notch, this might be welcome news. Even if the next MacBook Air doesn’t have super-slim bezels, this doesn’t mean there won’t be any bezel-slimming at all, simply that it may not be as substantial as the ones on the current MacBook Pros.

This new MacBook has a mini-LED display, much like the iPad Pro 2021 and the new MacBook Pros, so brightness and colour accuracy should be improved.

Apple is also likely to provide a wider range of hues, moving away from the current Space Gray and Silver options. There have been rumours that the iMac 2021 will have off-white as well as other pastel-inspired colours.

Upgrades to the keyboard and trackpad are still a mystery. However, the Force Touch trackpad is one of the finest on the market, and typing on MacBooks has dramatically improved since Apple switched from the Butterfly keyboard mechanism to a scissor key mechanism.

MagSafe and ports for MacBook Air 2022

MagSafe charging was seen by many longstanding MacBook users as a distinguishing feature, one that set Apple apart from other PC manufacturers. As a result of fire safety concerns and a changeover to USB Type-C, Apple discontinued MagSafe from its Mac computers.

As a result, MagSafe is expected to be included in the next generation of MacBook Airs. Rumors thus far have indicated that it will return to the next-generation Air as well.

Even while new MacBook Pros include an SD card reader and HDMI connector, a thorough leak suggests that the MacBook Air may continue with USB-C ports exclusively. That’s not a big problem since USB-C allows for increased connection, but users who want additional ports may have to accept the dongle lifestyle.

Specifications for the MacBook Air in 2022

The Apple M1 processor, a piece of silicon built in-house by Cupertino’s engineers, made waves with the new MacBook Air. Considering that it’s an ARM CPU running on RISC architecture rather than the x86 architecture used in MacBooks and Windows laptops powered by Intel, the performance was rather amazing.

There are rumours that the Apple M2 processor will be used in the MacBook Air. For this chip, a 4-nanometer manufacturing node is said to be used, which is likely to prioritise efficiency above raw performance.

It’s also possible that Apple is working on a 3-nanometer processor for the MacBook Air, according to another claim from The Information.

Storage and RAM are anticipated to start at the same levels as the current Air, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD space being the minimum requirements for the system. However, we wouldn’t be shocked if Apple offered 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage with the MacBook Air 2022, which is expected to launch in 2018.

A glimpse at the MacBook Air in 2022

It’s hard to argue with the fact that the latest MacBook Air is a step in the right direction. For the MacBook Air 2022, speculations are pointing to that.

I think the next MacBook Air might have a lot of appeal with a sharper display and smaller bezels, as well as an improved processor and MagSafe charging. Even more so since it’s expected to be much less expensive than the new MacBook Pros.
