MacBook Air M4: towards a launch before the iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11 for Apple
Although the iPhone SE 4 is the subject of many rumors for several months, it would not be the first Apple product to be marketed in 2025. The Apple firm would in fact prioritize the launch of a new consumer laptop: the MacBook Air.
In a publication shared on December 23, 2024, Mark Gurman indeed shared that the MacBook Air under M4 chip would benefit from an “earlier” formalization than the other products expected at the beginning of next year.
This new Mac would thus be offered by Apple before the next iPad 11, iPad Air M3 and iPhone SE 4. The journalist from Bloomberg adds in passing that he remains on his prediction from last October for these devices, thus still planning on a launch in spring, between mid-March and mid-June.
According to the latest news, various analysts were working on an officialization of the iPhone SE 4 during the month of March 2025which would follow the information shared by Mark Gurman.
The MacBook Air M4s should therefore arrive before this period, either during the month of January, February or the first half of March. We therefore expect that Apple will not hold a dedicated conference for this generation, therefore publishing a press release to unveil it.
As a reminder, this method was used at the end of 2024 for MacBook Pro, Mac mini and iMac under M4 chip as well as theiPad mini 7. A logical strategy when we know that the next MacBook Air would only be new in terms of performance.
