Aug. 16, 2018



Taiwan-based research companyTrendForceis now suggesting thatApple could be prepping a new MacBook Air,with the updated modelexpected to arrive by the end of this quarteri.e. around the launch of the new iPhones.

In spite of these claims, Apple is unlikely to let a refreshed MacBook Air steal the attention away from thethree iPhones arriving this year. So there’s no guarantee about a MacBook Air refresh. Besides the iPhones, the Apple Watch, AirPods,iPad Proare also due for an update while rumors also suggest new iMac and Mac Pro machines. So overall, thesecond half of the year is already likely to be super busyfor the company.

Rumors about an upgraded MacBook Air also made rounds on the internet a few months ago. Taiwan’s DigiTimes had reported that the refreshedMacBook Air would come with Retina Display. Thesedisplays would be produced by LGand have the same resolution as the MacBook Pro’s LED display (2560×1600 pixels).

There is no information about the possible specification upgrades that the new MacBook Air would come with – if it does. One of the features which most MacBook users will be looking out for is the butterfly keyboard from the MacBook Pro which has received its share oflove and hate from MacBook Pro users.
