Apple Expected to Announce New MacBook Air 'Tomorrow'

by

Apple CEO Tim Cook yesterday teased that there was "something in the air" this week, and it turns out that could be "things" plural. Following today's announcement of a new iPad Air with an M3 chip, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman now says that Apple plans to announce the long-rumored MacBook Air with the M4 chip tomorrow.

"Expect the M4 MacBook Air tomorrow as part of the new product wave," he said, in a post on X.

Gurman initially said the new MacBook Air would be announced "earlier" than the iPhone 16e and new iPad Air, but that information was evidently wrong.

As was the case with the new iPad Air, and the iPhone 16e last month, the new MacBook Air should be announced in a press release on the Apple Newsroom website.

Beyond the M4 chip, the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models are expected to have Thunderbolt 4 ports, a Center Stage camera, longer battery life, and a few other minor upgrades. No design changes are expected.

Gurman initially said the new MacBook Air would be announced "earlier" than the iPhone 16e and new iPad Air ('https://www.geekwebguides.com/2024/12/23/macbook-air-with-m4-chip-launch-timing/'), but that information was evidently wrong.
This seems written to downplay the accuracy failure of Gurman, instead blaming it on "that information".
It would make more sense to simply state that Gurman was wrong.

MacRumors should consider having a tracker – similar to the buyers guide – with a colour-coded indicator to show how 'reputable' a rumour monger has been in the past.

Mark is almost always right with his claims not sure when he’s been wrong honestly. To those who like the air, get hyped for tomorrow.
😂 Really? This was posted less than 30 minutes ago.

https://www.geekwebguides.com/2025/03/04/new-entry-level-ipad-lacks-apple-intelligence/

In January, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the new entry-level iPad would be equipped with an A17 Pro chip, enabling Apple Intelligence ('https://www.geekwebguides.com/2025/01/12/ipad-11-rumored-specs/') on the device:


The new entry-level iPads — J481 and J482 — will get faster processors and Apple Intelligence. The current models have the A14 chip and 4 gigabytes of memory. Look for the new versions to have the A17 Pro chip, matching the iPad mini, and a bump to 8 gigabytes of memory. That’s the minimum needed to support the new AI platform.
This rumor proved to be wrong.

Should MR really pay so much attention to him and his claims/guesses?
