![]() ![]() ![]() Remember that if the rumor mill is right, there are a lot of goodies coming with this fresh take on the Air: a redesign, peppier M2 (maybe) processor, attractive colors, and that much-hyped Mini LED screen, all of which won’t come at a small cost in terms of the bill of materials for the laptop – particularly that high-end display. In other words, bring in the new MacBook Air at $1,200 or $1,300, and keep the existing M1 model at $999, still as a cheaper option. While Apple stuck with that same pricing when the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) debuted, we can’t help but wonder if the firm won’t be hiking things with this next Air launch. ![]() Obviously, if the M1-powered MacBook Air is kept on when the 2022 model is introduced by Apple, then the former would have to be discounted to ensure it’s cheaper – assuming Apple wants to bring in the new MacBook Air starting at the existing $999 (£999 / AU$1,599) baseline, as indicated. Or alternatively, Apple could keep the old M1 Air going, and reduce its price accordingly to offer a more wallet-friendly alternative to the new laptop.Īnalysis: Upgrades aplenty, but no price hike – is that realistic? Kuo reckons that the new MacBook Air could entirely replace the current M1-powered model, and do so at the same price point.
