Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman is well known for keeping on top of Apple rumors across the tech spectrum, and the MacBook Air is no different. In a September newsletter, Gurman cites sources close to Apple that have pinned the MacBook Air M4 launch date as coming in Q1 2025.

Apple has launched the first three M4 Macs, but the M4 MacBook Air is coming later. Here’s what’s coming next.

While Apple is releasing a number of new M4-powered Macs this year, including the redesigned, smaller Mac Mini and the MacBook Pro M4, the Cupertino-company didn't forget about the MacBook Air.

Apple has improved battery life on all M4 MacBook Pro models, and that tells me the M4 MacBook Air should see similar gains.

Apple wrapped up its 2024 October announcements with its MacBook Pro lineup for the year, including the debut of the M4 Max chip. MacBook Airs are getting more memory, but no M4.
