Apple’s 2022 MacBook Air is expected to ship with an M2 chip
Promising: Apple analyst and iOS developer @dylandkt revealed in a recent Twitter post that the next Air will launch in mid-2022 and will ship with MagSafe technology, a 1080p webcam, USB-C ports, and a 30W power adapter. The slim laptop won’t have active cooling, the source said, adding that there will be color options similar to the 24-inch iMac.
With the official new batch of MacBook Pros, the rumor mill has turned its attention to the next version of Apple’s MacBook Air.
The upcoming MacBook (Air) will launch in mid-2022. It will have MagSafe, a 1080p webcam, USB C ports, a 30W power adapter, and no fans. There will be color options similar to the iMac 24. Bezels and keyboard will be white with full-size function keys.

Aesthetically, Dylan believes the design will be similar to the new MacBook Pro, but thinner and lighter. In addition, the bezels and keyboard area will be off-white, and there will be a full set of function keys.
Dylan also notes that there will be a limited-choice option upon purchase, very similar to what we see with the current-generation MacBook Air, where Apple sells an octa-core GPU model and a seven-core GPU model for slightly less.
Dylan believes the new MacBook Air, which may just appear as a MacBook, will come with Apple’s own M2 processor and Mini LED display. Face ID is not expected, nor is an SD card slot or HDMI port. Support for at least two external displays is also expected and the starting price is expected to rise slightly.
The Twitter leader has a solid track record lately, sharing details about the M1 iPad Pro and 24-inch iMac before Apple officially announced them.
