Home Technology Gadgets Apple unveils its biggest MacBook Air redesign in over a decade The company showcased the updated laptop on Monday at its Worldwide Developers Conference by Bloomberg June 7, 2022 Apple Inc. unveiled the most significant overhaul to its popular MacBook Air laptop in more than a decade, bringing a fresh design, new colours and a speedier M2 processor. The company showcased the updated laptop Monday at its Worldwide Developers Conference, an event that’s otherwise focused on software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and other devices. The new Air adds yet another machine to the company’s lineup of personal computers, which has seen revenue jump since a switch away from Intel Corp. chips in 2020. The new MacBook Air loses the tapered shape of the previous version and instead uses a design that looks similar to the 14–inch and 16–inch MacBook Pros launched at the end of 2021. The machine has a 13.6–inch screen, up from 13.3 inches on the previous model, and – like the MacBook Pro – a 1080p camera with twice the resolution of the previous model. The new MacBook Air. Supercharged by M2. With an impossibly thin design. All-day battery life*. And a stunning 13.6” Liquid Retina display. Don’t take it lightly. Coming next month. *Battery life varies by use. — Apple (@Apple) June 6, 2022 The updated computer includes an M2 processor, the biggest generational leap for Apple’s Mac chips since its in-house components for computers debuted in November 2020. The MacBook Air update is the first since then, when it was one of the earliest Macs to get the M1 chip. The new M2 chip also is coming to the 13–inch MacBook Pro, the company said Monday. The Mac lineup generates a fraction of the sales that Apple’s iPhone does, but it’s been a solid performer in recent years. It accounted for nearly 11 per cent of revenue in the last fiscal year, more than the iPad and Apple’s wearables and home products.
