Rumors are rife on the side of the apple brand. After learning that the company could launch a new 15-inch MacBook by 2023, it’s now time for MacBook Air rumors to resurface.
A real growth engine for Apple on the PC side, this laptop is one of our great expectations for 2022. We had already heard of the probable probable launch of a MacBook Air with in particular several new colors as well as a new design to complete the range. current. But new information is now circulating about the screen.

Behind this fairly minor change in appearance, could nevertheless hide more structural changes, taking the form of a potential new design. The increase in screen size usually means that an aesthetic change is in sight, at least to possibly eliminate some of the screen edges that have remained the same since the device returned to the lineup. Because the overall size of the MacBook Air seems destined to remain unchanged. It is the visual comfort that would be improved.
Apple would like to see life in color
If the screen should therefore experience a change in diagonal and lead to some design changes, another rumor tends to bring an even greater makeover to the product: the color. This color strategy is reminiscent of the one used when launching the new iMacs in the spring of 2021 with its seven available colors. And the MacBook Air could then see life in a more fun way.
Apple would now seem to be returning to more inventive proposals when it comes to color choices. These pastel tones make it possible in particular to get closer to a younger target audience and fan of novelties. And these would contrast with the more traditional and minimalist variants of grey, silver and gold. In particular, this would make it possible to offer ever more choices to the user while offering products that can thus easily stand out in the sometimes dull landscape of tech.
An arrival at the end of the year?
MacBook Pros have already had their own makeover recently with the arrival of the MacBook Pro M1 Pro and M1 Max and their notch. The MacBook Air would be the next on the list to experience a refresh, potentially at the end of the year, a period often devoted to the announcement of new home laptops.
Rumors so far point to a November release. A fairly traditional date after all. Last year, the MacBooks were shown in October, completing a long period of presentations (iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, iPad, iPad mini). This may still be the case this year and we should have more information available then.
