As we step into 2025, Apple is generating considerable excitement in the tech market with its new launches. The true gem is the iPhone 16e, treated as a successor to the iPhone SE. It provides a classic iPhone experience minus the embellishments and is priced skillfully to keep up with the competition.
Next on the books is the much-awaited M4-powered MacBook Air. Though Apple has not confirmed a launch date for the MacBook Air, Tim Cook’s tweet today may stand as the brightest hint as to what we can expect.
In Cook’s tweet about the product launch, he mimicked that of just two weeks before the iPhone 16e launch. The tweet contained an Apple logo and hinted at the back of the phone that we all later discovered was the iPhone 16e: “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family.”
The text reads, “This week”, while the video focuses on dynamic word animations on “Air”. Any Apple product ranging from AirPlay technology to AirPods might be found in the list. While the AirPods might be too insignificant to stir social media with a bang, the iPad Air and MacBook Air are up for refreshes in a few weeks.
Sweeping conversations regarding the new iPad Air suggest its unveiling in the spring months around mid-April, while both observations indicate near gossip timing about the MacBook Air in mid-March. If Cook’s tweet is any sign, we should expect the MacBook Air pre-orders this weekend, likely to hit the stores next Friday, March 14.
This will be the last of the macOS laptops to house the M4 Apple Silicon chipset. The M4 had already made a debut in May 2024 while working for the iPad Pro, the MacBook Pro, the iMac, and the Mac Mini. However, the MacBook Air true superstar of new consumer Macs has always eluded this list.
