Apple today made a mistake with its macOS Sequoia 15.2 update, releasing the software for two Macs that have yet to be launched. There is a software file for "Mac16,12" and "Mac16,13," which are upcoming MacBook Air models.
The leaked software references the "MacBook Air (13-inch, M4, 2025)" and the "MacBook Air (15-inch, M4, 2025)," confirming that new M4 MacBook Air models are in development and are likely not too far off from launching.
It's been widely rumored that Apple is working to bring the M4 chips to its entire Mac lineup, and the MacBook Air is expected to get an M4 refresh in the spring of 2025, so sometime between March and June.
We are not expecting to see design updates for the MacBook Air, and the refresh will focus on the internals, namely the new M4 chip upgrade.
Apple today updated its U.S. trade-in estimates, raising maximum values across the iPad lineup and for most Macs following today's announcement of the new iPad mini.
Every iPad category has gained value, although the increases are relatively modest. The iPad mini and standard iPad both rise by $20, while the iPad Air gains $15 and the iPad Pro increases by $10. The revised maximum estimates...
Apple is testing OLED displays for future MacBook Air and iMac models, though both upgrades remain some way off, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his latest "Power On" newsletter.
The next refreshes of the devices are expected to retain LCD displays. Gurman anticipates a new iMac to arrive this week and a MacBook Air refresh in early 2027, but offered no time frame for either model's...

Apple has made a change to its development process for iOS 28, macOS 28, and corresponding software updates, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, he said Apple separates development of each year's new operating systems into three major stages. Typically, he said each stage consists of four weeks of coding followed by a four-week "convergence" period where...
Hoping they offer the nano-texture upgrade on the Airs. I skipped it on the iMac I just got since I don't have any lighting issues where I use it. But I use my current Air in all kinds of places and reflections can get annoying.
Hopefully it will get a RAM bump up to max of 64GB, 24 isn't enough for power users, multi-tasking, video editing.
The M4 maxes out at 32GB of DRAM. You need to move to an M4 Max to get to 64GB of DRAM. For the target market, 24-32GB of DRAM is plenty. Regarding 24GB of DRAM, it is also plenty for power users, multitasking and video editing.
Thanks team for the reminders about chip RAM limits. Forgot. By multitasking I mean someone like a teammate who uses tons of browser windows and tabs, 100s, and also travels a ton where every kg saved counts. Sounds like the 2026 or so macbook pros will get a weight reduction. But yeah until then I'll steer them to a M4 Pro/Max 14"
That’s not multitasking, it’s a lack of discipline and probably porn addiction. A browser is single tasking even if you open multiple tabs.
