DA Gadgets 
Apple
is
working
on
an
updated
MacBook
Air
with
the
company’s
current
generation
M4
chip
that
is
expected
to
arrive
in
“early
2025”,
according
to
a
report.
The
Cupertino
company
is
also
developing
a
new
Mac
Studio
model
that
is
also
equipped
with
an
M4
chip,
but
it
has
reportedly
been
delayed
by
a
few
months.
Meanwhile,
Apple
is
expected
to
launch
new
M4-powered
Mac
models
next
week,
including
a
new
iMac,
MacBook
Pro,
and
Mac
mini,
in
what
is
likely
to
be
the
company’s
last
hardware
launch
of
the
year.
Apple
Could
Launch
M4
MacBook
Air
Model
in
Early
2025
A
Bloomberg
report
citing
people
aware
of
the
matter
states
that
Apple
could
soon
begin
production
of
new
M4
MacBook
Air
models
that
could
be
launched
by
the
company
in
early
2025,
alongside
new
iPhone
SE,
iPad,
and
iPad
Air
models.
The
current
generation
MacBook
Air
with
an
M3
chip
was
introduced
in
March,
and
a
refreshed
model
with
a
more
powerful
processor
could
arrive
around
the
same
time
next
year.
Apple’s
upcoming
MacBook
Air
models
will
be
available
in
13-inch
(codenamed J713)
and
15-inch
(J715)
display
sizes
and
will
feature
the
same
design
as
the
current
generation
MacBook
Air
models,
according
to
the
report.
These
variants
are
likely
to
be
introduced
after
a
software
update
that
is
expected
to
arrive
in
December.
Meanwhile,
an
updated
Mac
Studio
model
with
an
M4
chip
(codenamed
J575)
won’t
be
announced
in
the
first
quarter,
according
to
Bloomberg.
It
will
reportedly
be
launched
between
March
and
June,
and
there’s
no
word
on
when
Apple
will
refresh
the
Mac
Pro
with
an
M4
chip.
This
claim
was
first
made
by
Bloomberg’s
Mark
Gurman
earlier
this
year.
Apple
Expected
to
Refresh
Mac
Models
With
M4
Chip
Earlier
this
month,
Gurman
stated
that
Apple
would
launch
a
14-inch
MacBook
Pro
with
an
M4
chip
(codenamed
J604),
and
high-end
14-inch
(J614)
and
16-inch
MacBook
Pro
models
with
M4
chips
(J616).
Similarly,
a Mac
mini
with
M4
or
M4
Pro
chips
(J773)
along
with
a
refreshed
iMac
with
an
M4
chip
(J623)
could
also
be
launched
by
the
company.
Apple
launched
a
refreshed
iPad
Mini
with
an
A17
Pro
chip
—
the
processor
that
powered
the
iPhone
15
Pro
—
on
October
15,
while
the
company
has
yet
to
unveil
the
new
Mac
models
listed
above.
Previous
reports
suggest
that
the
upcoming
M4
Mac
Mini
will
feature
a
much
smaller
body
that
resembles
the
Apple
TV
box.
it
is
currently
unclear
whether
Apple
will
hold
a
launch
event
for
these
products,
or
announce
their
arrival
via
its
website,
like
the
new
iPad
Mini
(2024).
