MacBook Air: What you need to know
Apple last updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with the M3 chip in March 2024. Other new features include support for Wi-Fi 6E with a compatible router, native support for up to two external displays when the lid is closed, a fingerprint-reducing anodizing seal on the Midnight finish, and microphone improvements.

The next-generation 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M4 chip will launch “around spring 2025,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, so a launch in March or April of next year seems more likely. With the M4 chip, the upcoming MacBook Airs are expected to offer modestly faster CPU performance than current models, and the chip could also have a faster and more efficient neural engine for artificial intelligence tasks.
It was once rumored that the MacBook Air could be the first Mac to have an OLED display, but it’s not entirely clear if that’s still Apple’s plan. No other major updates or design changes have been rumored for the MacBook Air next year.
