If the white bezel with notch is true, then someone will make $$$ making a black stick on decal for the bezel to hide it!
Got a tip for us?

Five Features to Look Forward to in the 2022 MacBook Air

- Sort by reaction score
The M1 is like a 4-cylinder engine in a car.
The M1 Pro is like a 6-cylinder engine.
The M1 Max is like an 8-cylinder engine.
The M2 is just the newer version of the M1. It will be like a 4-cylinder engine tuned to be a little faster than the previous year. It will still not be as fast as the older 6-cylinder or 8-cylinder engines.
Eventually there will probably be M2 Pro and M2 Max and they will be faster yet.
IPhone SE is the lowest priced iPhone. It uses the case from an older model phone (the iPhone 8) but with a newer chip.
”Air“ doesn’t really work in the iPad line either but Apple branded themselves into a corner there. Maybe they will adjust the names at some point.
Because the camera module on iMacs is larger and has more components. It as the camera, a light sensor and another sensor and some mounting brackets. This image below shows the camera on a MacBook. I doubt the iMac camera module is any smaller.
1) Nope
2) Nope
3) Nope
4) Sure
5) Ok
So 2 out of 5 “features” I’m “looking forward to.”
If they go pastel bodies and white bezels however they can forget it. I use this MBA for business. I have to take it into conference rooms, not daycares or classrooms.

> No more wedge design
> White Bezels
I am vehemently not looking forward to 2 out of these 5 "features"

I wonder if the iconic plastic iBooks or pre-2011 MacBooks were met with the same level of rage for daring to not be silver/black slabs. Somehow I doubt it. What's changed?
Personally I have no issue with Apple experimenting a little, and functionality matters far more than color. I have plenty of complaints about modern MacBooks, but a notch and white bezels don't even make the top ten.
If these are reliable and fairly priced, they'll sell just fine.

All I need is for the new MBA to support 32GB RAM.
I appreciate the > 16GB RAM in the new MBPs but can't justify jumping to it for almost twice the price of the current M1 MBA.
I don't need all the other features that the Pro has(miniled screen, more ports, bigger size, better camera, etc).

White bezels and a white notch that you can't hide even if you wanted. That thing will go into history as the worst looking items modern Apple (post Amelio) ever sold. It looks heinous...
I totally agree with you! How the hell are you supposed to hide that WHITE NOTCH bezel when you are playing a game or watching a MOVIE...That WHITE NOTCH will be an EYE SORE!!
There is a sucker born every second...You will be surprised how many will go for the tacky eye sore WHITE NOTCH bezel...
This guesswork pretending to be rumors and inside information is comical and sad.
proof: the’article misses most obvious thing coming with 2022 MB\A: 1080p camera. Apple has been foolishly stubborn about this, favoring thin over everything, but we love ina Zoom world now, and no way 720p is going to fly.

Imagine watching a movie and that damn WHITE NOTCH is just staring right back at you...Horrible design!!

Options for screen sizes, please, Apple.
Regular consumers want bigger screens, without having to pay out for MBP features (such as freaking ancient ports) that they will never want and never need.
14 and 16 inch. ???????????

That Apple notch camera is the LEAST PRIVATE looking camera across the ENTIRE UNIVERSE of all devices across all brands.
The white notch is an insane, brand impairing, strategic mistake.

If they do a notch I predict the notch itself will be black but the (thin) bezel could well be white.
Or they just go like the iMac and have a (thinner) white bezel with camera punch hole.
Doubt they’ll do a white notch for all the reasons people have mentioned.

just name it MacBook (enough with Air on all products BTW...), 1 pounds and this is the best laptop ever made.

Well at least my current M1 Air will still hold value
MacRumors getting beyond their station here!
Acting all ‘statement of fact’ as if they were actually Apple offering a press release with concrete news of their future intentions ?.
I mean, I know it’s likely / all signs point to this etc. but do keep up the pretense of a rumour site and use the appropriate language (e.g. “there are indications Apple will introduce x next year”).
