Apple’s latest teaser, “There’s something in the air,” suggests that a new MacBook Air with the M4 chip could be announced soon, possibly this week. This phrase is familiar, as Apple originally used it in 2008 when introducing the first MacBook Air. Given past trends, the teaser strongly indicates an upcoming refresh of the popular laptop.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had previously shared a similar teaser before the iPhone 16e announcement, hinting at a strategic pattern in Apple’s marketing. If the company follows its usual approach, the new MacBook Air and any other products will likely be announced through a press release on the Apple Newsroom website, possibly with an accompanying YouTube video. Cook’s recent tweet further suggests that the announcement could happen within days.

The new MacBook Air models, expected in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, will likely feature multiple improvements beyond the M4 chip. Reports indicate they will come with Thunderbolt 4 ports for better connectivity, a Center Stage camera for enhanced video calls, and improved battery life. These updates aim to make the MacBook Air even more appealing to users looking for a powerful yet portable device.
While the MacBook Air refresh is the most anticipated, other “air” products might also be in development. A new iPad Air is expected soon, and an updated AirTag could arrive by mid-2025. Additionally, rumors suggest an “iPhone 17 Air” with an ultra-thin design is in the works, though it is not expected to be introduced until September. Apple’s teaser leaves room for multiple possibilities, adding to the excitement around its upcoming announcements.
