Mini-LED MacBook Air tipped to be on its way — arriving in 2022

Apple‘s rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models aren’t the only laptops getting a display redesign, as the tech giant’s popular MacBook Air is also expected to get brand new mini-LED backlit displays — and we may see in next year.

According to reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), Apple is expected to release its next-generation MacBook Air in 2022 and it will come equipped with a 13.3-inch mini-LED display,

The rumored 2021 MacBook Pro line-up, expected to be revealed sometime in the third quarter of this year, is also set to feature the mini-LED technology. the updated display panel will bring significant improvements when it comes to brightness, contrast, black levels, and power efficiency. 

If Apple’s more affordable MacBook Air comes with a mini-LED upgrade, then it’s looking to be a formidable laptop to beat. According to a recent leak, the next MacBook Air will be packed with Apple’s updated silicon chip: M2.

That’s not all, as reports also indicate it will feature Thunderbolt 4 ports, updated MagSafe charging technology similar to the old MagSafe on pre-2016 MacBook Pro models, and come in an array of colors much like the new iMac line that were revealed at Apple’s Spring Loaded event.
