Summary
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple’s MacBook Air line will be updated to use M4 chips in March, thus completing the MacBook line’s M4 transition, as the slim laptops will now have the same M4 chip as the Pro model.
Gurman did not specify any further details about the update, however, it is usual procedure for Apple to prepare marketing and retail teams beforehand, as well as clearing out any current retail stock of the laptops.
Since the Apple Silicon transition, the MacBook Air has shared the same specs as the low-end MacBook Pro, but with a slimmer design and some omissions, however, the upcoming M4 models are expected to include a Pro feature that allows for two external displays to be connected simultaneously.
This leaves only the M2-generation Mac Studio and Mac Pro models without the M4 chip, with Gurman expecting the Mac Studio to be updated between March and June, and the Mac Pro anywhere from June to the fall.
This means that every Mac module will have its M4 chip before the summer.
