Apple MacBook Air With M2 Chip Might Launch At WWDC 2022 Event; What To Expect?

Rumors about the new MacBook with the M2 chip have been buzzing on the internet for days. Now it looks like the launch is just around the corner. The new Apple laptops may debut at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to be held June 6-10.

This year’s event will also be virtual, where Apple will announce the next generation of software for the Mac, iPhone, iPad and the Apple Watch. The WWDC event focuses primarily on new software; however, Apple is expected to announce two new Macs at the event this time around.

New Macs Launched at WWDC 2022 Event

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, one of the two Macs is the new MacBook Air. In addition, Apple will also bring an updated Mac mini and 24-inch iMac, and a low-end MacBook Pro to replace the 13-inch model. In addition, new Mac Pro and iMac Pro models are also in development.

MacBook Air: What’s New?

The upcoming MacBook Air will be the first to use the new Apple M2 chip. In addition, it is also expected to show off a new design, featuring a flat-edged design similar to the iPad Pro and the iPad Air. There will be two USB-C ports and support for MagSafe.

The MacBook Air is rumored to come in two screen sizes, while the current model came with a 13-inch screen and an M1 chip. The next-generation MacBook Air would also be available in multiple colors, while the current unit will be sold in three colors. In addition, the MacBook Air is expected to have a miniLED display and a better FaceTime camera.

At the event, Apple is expected to announce the latest versions of its software: iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS and tvOS. Apple will most likely introduce watchOS 9, which is believed to run the next-generation Apple Watch Series 8 and the other latest Apple Watches.

Additionally, iOS 16 is expected to go official during the event. Gurman also claimed that iOS 16 will bring major upgrades. Apple has yet to confirm the launch of the new Macs at the WWDC 2022 event. So it’s better to take it as a hint and stay tuned for more updates.
