So, what would you like the M6 MacBook Air to feature?

Would like to see cellular capability. Might take some time for it to happen considering it might be happening immediately after the MacBook Pro gets it. Also would like to see some nice bright color choice. At least one bright option like the iMac colors.

Slimmer form factor. I was amazed to compare side by side my M2 MBA (which has the same chassis as the newest one) with M1 MBP the other day to find out their overall thickness and size is near identical for the 13 inch model. With the old Pro having significantly thinner screen assembly.

Current MBP line feels more like an Ultra utilitarian device type of chassis and Air feels like a regular/pro Apple laptop should look like, in my book.

Isn't the M6 Air slated to come out in 2027? Shouldn't we be talking about the M5 Air here? For what it's worth, I have an M4 Air and there's not much I'd do to it to make it better. It's just a great, all-around computer. For me at least.

I agree it's a great machine. But if feels more like a sweet-spot "normal" or "regular" MacBook rather than something from the Air line. Almost as if we were to call the current regular iPhone 17 the iPhone Air and there would be no actual Air.

Sequoia.

But barring that, I'd love to see a Nano-Texture option and Pro-Motion.

I'll be honest, I'm 10000% game for the M6 MacBook Airs to NOT get the new design supposedly coming with the M6 Family MacBook Pros and for Apple to wait a rev or two to make that change (just like they did with the current body style). For all we know the new design may have issues and it'll be nice to have a stable option to fall back on.
