Is the M4 MacBook Air Launch Just Around the Corner?

People keep saying it’s coming soon, but is it really? What do you think?

Saying ‘continues to appear imminent’ just sounds weird lol

Gotta keep posting the same recycled article every few hours.

‘It still looks like it’s about to happen… but it hasn’t.’

So it’s a probably, maybe, possibly?

At this point, I could power it with my own gas.

They just need a way to make ‘nothing new yet’ sound like an update.

Reports say both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air will come with Apple’s ‘T8132’ chip, which is basically the M4.

Not shocking for those following leaks, but at least it confirms the expected specs.

@Storm
What else would they put in there if not M4??

Maybe they jump straight to M5? But that’d be odd since M4 just came out like 8 months ago.

Yeah, the iPad Pro skipped M3 and went from M2 to M4. The budget iPad also weirdly went from A10 to A12.

But I don’t see them doing that with MacBooks.

Why not M6?

They should just go straight to M5 instead.

Not gonna happen. They need to protect those MacBook Pro profits, so the Air will always be a step behind.

Yeah, plus most people buying the Air don’t really need the latest chip anyway.

@Zayden
Even with Tesla, its massive stock value lets him borrow billions for other projects. Same idea here.

Maybe, but M5 might have lower yields at first. Apple could use a weaker M5 chip in the Air, then release a full version in the Pro later. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Will M3 Air prices drop right away, or will it take a few weeks after M4 is out? Trying to grab one.

Looks like Apple is ditching M3 from the lineup and keeping the M2 models instead.

Just saw M3 Airs go on sale today. Grabbed one for $200 off—perfect timing for a trip. Figured the M4 upgrade won’t be worth the extra cost.
