So that’s what Apple intends to do now
As early as May there were reports of a completely new MacBook Air 2021. These caused confusion, however, as they were reminiscent of a completely different Apple device. Now we are getting a lot closer to the Enlightenment, the riddle seems to have been solved.
A few weeks ago, Apple insider Jon Prosser revealed Apple’s Working on the new MacBook Air 2021. The image that the leaker drew, however, did not match the well-known Luftikus at all: the wedge shape disappears, more courage to edge, colors like the new iMac and yet flat like a flounder. So or something like that, one would have imagined the new MacBook Pro 2021, how do the reports then fit into a supposedly new MacBook Air?
MacBook Air 2021: High-end version of the Apple laptop complements the inexpensive model
The possible solution to this problem is now included Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) one of the most influential Apple experts. According to him the new development is a new high-end version of the MacBook Air. As a result, we would still have the current model as an entry-level model, so Apple is expanding its product range and will offer a more powerful and therefore more cost-intensive version of the Air.
In the new “MacBook Air Pro” a faster processor work, although it is not yet clear whether it is the M2 or just an improved variant of the M1. Apple could and may have to maintain a greater distance to the upcoming MacBook Pro at this point.
When it comes to colors, Apple should be based on the iMac 2021, we can see that in the following video:
Connectivity should two USB 4 ports as well as the reinterpretation of MagSafe – the popular magnetic charging cable will celebrate a return, as predicted for the MacBook Pro 2021. SD card reader and HDMI connection will not find their way into the new Air, however, these are reserved for the new Pro. The same could also apply to the new mini LED screen, which is not mentioned by Gurman in connection with the Air.
This is what the new MacBook Air 2021 should actually look like, in the article there are some pictures to see:
Release date of the new MacBook Air?
With the appearance of the Apple notebook, the second half of the year, but possibly not until the beginning of 2022. What you shouldn’t forget: The industry is currently suffering from massive delivery problems, and Apple cannot completely avoid them either. Before that, we should probably see Apple’s new MacBook Pro, but the new Air can wait a little longer.
