Almost the entire Apple Mac lineup already received the M4 upgrade, but per the latest reports, it seems no computer will be left behind. It is rumored that the MacBook Air is getting its much-awaited M4 upgrade this 2025, and Apple analyst Mark Gurman has already shared the possible launch date of the device.
Since almost the entire Mac lineup was given the M4, rumors about the M4 MacBook Air started swirling around. Many expected this to come this year, and now, it may actually be happening.
Apple MacBook Air M4 Is Rumored For March, Per Analyst
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has good news for all Apple fans as the anticipated M4 MacBook Air upgrade is reportedly set for next month. According to the analyst, Apple is already “gearing up” for the launch of its new M4-powered computer, the only laptop that has yet received the upgrade.
It should be noted that Gurman did not provide the exact details behind the reported new computer. His claims follow previous leaks that reported that the device is coming early this year.
Apple is allegedly already preparing its team over at marketing, sales, and retail for the MacBook Air M4’s reported launch this March, but there are still no exact release dates for it.

What Features May the MacBook Air M4 Have?
The upgrades that are speculated to arrive for the MacBook Air M4 are its Thunderbolt 4 ports, which will allow additional external monitor casting or mirroring, a Center Stage camera, and a nano-texture display option that was introduced with the iPad Pro M4.
It is important to note that these upgrades were previously made available to the earlier M4 Macs, and it is expected to be the same case with the MacBook Air, according to 9to5Mac.
The Apple M4 MacBook Air Upgrade
It was initially rumored that Apple will hold a special Mac event in late 2024 and release these computers by early 2025. However, Apple only gave fans the MacBook Pro with the three variations of the M4 chip, the upgraded and smaller version of the Mac mini, and its desktop computer, the iMac.
This left behind questions about the fate of the M4 MacBook Air, the beloved lightweight and slim computer, as it was the only device that was not part of the showcase. Many sources believe that it will not be forgotten and will still feature the M4 upgrade, but it will stick to its usual yearly release schedule. That means it may be expected during the latter part of the first quarter of 2025.
The first two months of the year came by fast, and we are now approaching March without any official confirmations from Apple regarding an upcoming event or press release-type announcement for the MacBook Air.
