The i7 models are still the 2013 version.
When you say the '2013' version; are you talking MBA 6,* ?
If so; are they still being shipped with the faster flash?
So I just bought (May 6th) a new 13" MBA and it shows "Mid 2013". I just noticed it about a half hour ago and called Apple Care immediately to make sure I got the right MBA. Their explanation is that this is the latest one, including the minor processor bump. I don't know that I am really satisfied with this answer, as there was just an update to the MBA line (both 11" & 13") on April 29th. So it SHOULD reflect the fact that it is a 2014 model.
OMG, why do you so care about that? is it 1.4 GHz CPU? then it is 2014 model. problem solved, case closed.

If it is 1.4 i5 it is newest.It matters for two reasons:
1. I just ordered it, and want to make sure I got the newest laptop (which is why I waited until after the refresh on Apr 29th to order mine.
2. Resale value. If the laptop is showing a year older than it actually is, it will lower the value when it comes time to sell and upgrade.
The 2013 and 2014 models have the same model number. Only the speed changed.
Why can't people look at the box when they buy something?
For the 11"
MD11LL/A and MD712LL/A are the 2013
MD711LL/B and MD712LL/B are the 2014
For the 13":
MD760LL/A and MD761LL/A are the 2013
MD760LL/B and MD761LL/B are the 2014
Cue inevitable rant about sneaky Apple labeling the box with one thing and putting something else in it.
Mine says Early 2014. Got it for only $708 after taxes!
did you get some sort of discount?
Best Buy had it on sale for $50 off. But I found an open box model in excellent condition. So it started at $800ish. Then I had the student discount coupon for an additional $150 off any Macbook. So... $650ish plus tax came to $708 and change!
so best buy honors the student discount? Do I need the coupon? I am a student and prefer not to drive to our apple store. It is on the other side of town and I live 2 minutes from best buy.
No. That have their own student discount program.
