The M4 MacBook Air could launch in just a few months, but Apple is retiring another MacBook Air — and not the one you think.

Apple may choose to refresh its iPad Air models in the spring with an M4 chip, skipping the M3 generation for the lineup entirely,

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple’s 2025 will be “loaded.” That includes the Mac, and Gurman cites the timeframe for when Apple will release new Macs–most of what Gurman reports has been stated before,

A new MacBook Air with M4 could come onto the market as early as January or February. Apple is reportedly planning an earlier release than last year.

Apple's Mac lineup for 2025 will include quite a lot of updates, with the Mac Studio anticipated to get a refresh early in the year alongside more typical updates.

There is a good chance that Apple's first product announcement of 2025 will be updated 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with the M4 chip.
