Rumors: What to expect with Apple's 2022 redesign

With an overhauled MacBook Air reportedly just around the corner, experts are gearing themselves up for a new generation of computing. Likely to sport the M2 chip and an all-new design, the upcoming MacBook Air refresh could be one of the most significant to date.

THE UPCOMING MACBOOK AIR

Over the past couple of years, Apple has made something very clear: it means business when it comes to the Mac. Professionals and everyday users had grown frustrated with the Cupertino company's approach to the Mac prior to 2020, with some calling the line-up scale and lagging behind competitors, especially in regards to price. But as Apple enters a new age with its own silicon chips, namely the M1 series and its Pro, Max, and Ultra counterparts, the company is once again being taken seriously. Since then, we've seen a redesigned iMac which raised eyebrows but also reignited the spark for Apple computers, and a successful launch of the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max, which gave experts the confidence to return to macOS full-time. Next up is the MacBook Air, and Apple is readying the release of a redesigned range of entry-level computers inspired by the iMac's all-new design language.

Ever since Apple launched the new 24-inch iMac with its colorful design, the rumor mill has been in overdrive in regards to the MacBook Air. Ross Young and Ming-Chi Kuo have both suggested that Apple has been working on a new-look device and though both first thought that the firm would add a mini-LED display to the notebook, it's now thought that it'll feature an LCD panel and a redesign with white bezels and colorful options, similar to the new iMac.
