The new MacBook Air with M2 was announced at WWDC, but Apple couldn’t give an exact release date yet. The release date has since been leaked. iPhoned tells you how it is!
Release MacBook Air with M2: date leaked
During the WWDC 2022 (Worldwide Developers Conference), Apple started with a big keynote. During this presentation, the company announced new software versions for almost all of its devices.
But Apple had another surprise in store. A new MacBook Air was also unveiled. This new member of the Air family has a new chip: the M2. This chip is a lot faster than the previous version, the M1 chip that you will find in the MacBook Air 2020.
Apple was not entirely clear during WWDC when the exact release of new laptop is. Meanwhile, rumors are buzzing and the date of the MacBook Air with M2 has now been leaked. The MacBook Air 2022 is likely to be released on July 15. The pre-orders will then start a week earlier, on July 7.
… and this is new
Except for the biggest change (the M2 chip), the MacBook Air 2022 has a new design. That new design is somewhat like the MacBook Pro 2021, but thinner. The MacBook Air has now also received a notch. In addition, MagSafe is also back on the MacBook Air 2022 (handy if you regularly trip over your charging cable).
In addition, the MacBook Air 2022 has four speakers with support for Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio. There is also an improved FaceTime camera (1080p). With Apple’s new charger (sold separately), you can charge the battery of the MacBook Air 2022 to 80 percent in 20 minutes. The battery lasts up to 18 hours on a full charge.
MacBook Air M2 prices
The new MacBook Air 2022 with M2 is a bit more expensive than the MacBook Air 2020. It starts at a price of 1519 euros. Will you take the version with more storage and more graphics cores? Then you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket, because then it will cost 1869 euros.
You don’t want to spend that much, do you? Don’t worry, because the old MacBook Air 2020 with M1 remains available. It is striking that this laptop has become a bit more expensive. It now costs 1219 euros (that was 1129 euros).
