Apple’s first product in 2025 may be the new MacBook Air, which will be released in February at the latest

[ Gearbest Technology News]Apple’s first products in 2025 are most likely to be 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models equipped with M4 chips. Gurman has said multiple times that production of the new MacBook Air has begun, so it could be released in January or February instead of the traditional March or April.

The new MacBook Air is expected to be equipped with Apple’s already released M4 chip, which has a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU. At the end of October last year, Apple updated MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini with M4 chips. Geekbench 6 test results show that the M4 chip is 25% faster than the M3 chip in multi-core CPU performance.

Apple also recently increased the minimum memory configuration for all MacBook Air models from 8GB to 16GB. Following the MacBook Pro, the next-generation MacBook Air is likely to also be equipped with an upgraded 12-megapixel camera and support the Center Stage function, which can automatically keep the user centered during video calls. In addition, the camera also supports Desk View, which can display a top view of the user and their desktop at the same time.

The Center Stage function can be used in video calling applications such as FaceTime and Zoom. Previously, the feature was mostly limited to new iPad models and Macs connected to Apple’s external Studio Display. The new MacBook Pro and iMac are the first Mac devices to support Center Stage without relying on Studio Display.

The new MacBook Air may also come with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, compared to the current model’s two. The new MacBook Air may also support up to two external monitors when used with the lid open.

In addition, the latest MacBook Pro and iMac models feature nano-textured displays with a special coating that better scatters light, reducing screen glare. Apple may expand this option to the new MacBook Air, but it may also keep it only in the MacBook Pro to maintain product differentiation.

The next generation MacBook Air will not change much in appearance design. The last time Apple redesigned the MacBook Air was in 2022.
