Here are the top speculated features for the MacBook Air 2022, which is anticipated at WWDC.

Apple's WWDC presentation today might see the introduction of the MacBook Air 2022. (Monday, June 6). It's been two years since Apple released a new MacBook Air and now appears to be the right moment for the company to do so.

Inevitably, speculation around the MacBook Air 2022 has grown in recent weeks. Some rumors appear to be plausible, while others appear to be far-fetched. Apple's tiniest laptop might endure substantial alterations, ranging from a complete redesign to the addition of the rumored M2 processor. It's also feasible that the next MacBook Air may just receive modest upgrades.

Store pages on B&H Photo's site mention a 14-inch MacBook Air(opens in new tab) and a new 13-inch MacBook Pro(opens in new tab), as well as a Mac mini M2 and a mystery "Mac mini-tower" employing an Apple M1 Pro CPU, was discovered ahead of WWDC 2022 today. The pages also state that pre-orders for these devices will begin Monday night, which corresponds to Apple's practice of launching pre-orders immediately after revealing the gadgets at its annual developer conference.

These aren't proof of the new Macs arriving today, according to B&H's senior manager of web creative content Shawn C. Steiner Instead, Steiner claims that they are leftover pages from Apple's March event and that they are based on the same reports.

A redesign is one of the predicted characteristics of the MacBook Air 2022.

According to leaked renderings, the MacBook Air 2022 will be redesigned. The MacBook Air may feature a more uniform, rectangular rounded chassis, akin to the 2021 MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch, rather than the wedge-shaped tapering design the laptop is known for. The same images show purple, orange, blue, red, yellow, green, and silver/gray as color possibilities for the MacBook Air 2022. These hues may assist to separate the MacBook Air from the MacBook Pro series, just as the colors distinguish the iPad Air from the iPad Pro.

Slimmer bezels, a notched display, and a MagSafe port for power are all shown in the renderings. However, a new set of images, allegedly based on CAD blueprints from within Apple, shows a MacBook Air 2022 without a display notch after all. Slimmer bezels are one of the five features we'd like to see in the upcoming MacBook Air, so a modification like this would be nice.

Given how Apple redesigned the MacBook Pro 2021 range last year, it's not unrealistic to expect Apple to do the same for the MacBook Air. This rumor appears to be true.

The following are some of the rumored characteristics of the MacBook Air 2022: LED mini-display

The MacBook Air 2022 screen, like the iPad Pro 2021 and future MacBook Pros, is expected to employ a mini-LED display, which could improve brightness and colors. Industry expert Ming-Chi Kuo, on the other hand, opposes this, claiming that the laptop would have a completely new design that does not incorporate mini-LEDs.

According to display analyst Ross Young, the MacBook Air will continue to employ an LCD panel, with Apple saving mini-LED for more premium Pro versions.

The following are some of the rumored characteristics of the MacBook Air 2022: MagSafe ports and charging

With last year's MacBook Pros, MagSafe charging was brought back to MacBooks. It's also said to be coming back to the next-gen Air. Long-time MacBook users will undoubtedly be thrilled if this is true. After all, one of the line's most distinguishing features was MagSafe charging.

The new MacBook Pros include an SD card reader and HDMI connector, so we could see the same on the new Air, while one thorough source suggests it will just have USB-C connections. That wouldn't be a big concern because USB-C allows for more connection, but customers who need extra ports may have to use dongles.

The following are some of the rumored characteristics of the MacBook Air 2022: M2 microprocessor

The first M2 processors may arrive in future revisions of the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The M2 processor might make an appearance in the MacBook Air 2022.

Surprisingly, earlier speculations have claimed that the M2 may not be significantly more powerful than the M1. According to Kuo, Apple may label the revised chip "M2" to encourage sales or wait until 2023 to utilize the moniker.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman had reported that the M2 processor will include an 8-core CPU with four efficiency and high-performance cores, as well as a 10-core GPU. As a result, it would be less powerful than the M1.

MacBook Air 2022 rumored features: Naming

Apple may abandon the "Air" brand and simply call the new gadget "MacBook," according to one of the more intriguing MacBook Air 2022 rumors. Both leaker Dylandkt and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors(opens in new tab)) believe this. The former isn't sure when or if this will happen, while the latter predicts that in a future MacBook Air model in 2023, Apple will drop the "Air" moniker.

It's difficult to determine whether or not this rumor is real. Apple may wish to delete the Air label to emphasize that this is the de facto MacBook line for average users, while the Pro series is for professionals. However, we lack sufficient information.

MacBook Air 2022 rumored features: Outlook

There's a good chance we'll see a new MacBook Air shortly. Though reports claim the laptop will be released this year, nothing is certain (pun intended). Regardless of whether the MacBook Air 2022 is released this year or not, Apple fans and the computer industry as a whole have something to be excited about.

Of course, WWDC is largely a software conference. As intriguing as these hardware leaks are, we're more likely to learn about iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, and other major Apple updates, as well as the new features that come with them, today.

We'll hopefully learn more during WWDC 2022.
