Apple has started the countdown for the next-generation “Air” model. CEO Tim Cook’s mysterious post on X caused a great stir in the technology world. Cook’s post saying “There’s something in the Air this week” showed that it could be the iPhone 17 Air or MacBook Air.
Apple will introduce the new Air model this week
According to Mark Gurman’s reports, the introduction of the MacBook Air powered by the M4 chip may be this week. While M2 and M3 chips are currently used in MacBook Air models; the new generation devices are expected to come with the M4 chip.

According to estimates, the M4 chip is used in the 15-inch model; while the M3 chip is likely to continue in the entry-level 13-inch model. Although no major changes are expected in terms of design, it is said that Apple may offer new color options in addition to the current color palette.
Since the M4 processor was introduced at the event held in May last year, most users have had great expectations for the MacBook Air model. The processor, which has been announced with models such as the MacBook Pro and Mac mini, will eventually be announced for the MacBook Air.
The fact that the image used in Tim Cook’s post reminds us of a hinged device strengthens the possibility of a MacBook Air. Although the launch date is not definite, it was stated that it could be introduced on Tuesday or Wednesday. It is also quite interesting that Apple made the announcement during the Mobile World Congress continuing in Barcelona.
