Just days after teasing the iPhone 16e, Apple CEO Tim Cook has hinted at another major reveal. On March 3, 2025, Cook posted a cryptic video on X (formerly Twitter) with the words, “There’s something in the air.”
Apple fans will recognize this phrase—it’s a direct nod to the 2008 launch of the original MacBook Air. This has sparked speculation that Apple is gearing up to unveil the highly anticipated M4 MacBook Air as early as this week.
M4 MacBook Air: What to Expect
The biggest upgrade in the upcoming MacBook Air M4 is, of course, Apple’s latest M4 chip. While it won’t feature the Pro or Max versions, the standard M4 is still a powerhouse, bringing major performance improvements and enhanced Apple Intelligence features.
M4 Chip Performance
The M4 MacBook Air is expected to include:
10-core CPU
10-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine (capable of handling up to 38 trillion operations per second)
With these improvements, the MacBook Air will be better suited for AI-based Apple Intelligence features, making it an excellent long-term investment.
Finally, Proper Multi-Monitor Support
One of the biggest frustrations with previous MacBook Air models was limited external display support:
Older MacBook Air models supported only one external monitor
M3 models allowed two monitors, but only with the laptop lid closed
The M4 MacBook Air is expected to fix this limitation—users should finally be able to use two external monitors while keeping the laptop open, a game-changer for professionals and gamers.
Improved Battery Life & More RAM
Apple has been making significant battery life improvements with each new chip, and the M4 MacBook Air is expected to follow suit. While exact numbers are yet to be revealed, users can expect longer battery life compared to the M3 models.
Memory Upgrade:
Base model to start at 16GB RAM (up from 8GB on the M3 model)
Option to upgrade to 32GB RAM for those needing extra power
Better Camera & Optional Nano-Texture Display
The M4 MacBook Air is rumored to feature:
Upgraded 12MP Center Stage Camera (better video quality + automatic framing during video calls)
Optional Nano-Texture Display (previously reserved for high-end Macs, reduces glare & improves visibility)
Will There Be New Colors?
While some Apple fans hope for new color options, there haven’t been strong leaks suggesting major design changes. Expect the same 13-inch and 15-inch models, with a design similar to the M2 and M3 MacBook Air.
Apple’s Next Big Launch is Coming Soon
With Tim Cook’s teaser and the growing rumors, an M4 MacBook Air launch could happen this week. Whether it brings new colors or just internal upgrades, the MacBook Air is about to get faster, more powerful, and even more future-proof.
