Apple could launch a new macbook air in the fall

According to Taiwanese analytics firm TrendForce, Apple is preparing to launch a new MacBook Air. This launch would take place "at the end of the third quarter", which brings us to some time in September, including October, given the dates we are on.

MacBook Air still holds up

In the same information, TrendForce also refers to a new MacBook Pro, although from MacRumors, Joe Rossignol points out that "it surely refers to the models launched in July, when the third quarter began":

The report does not provide additional details, but both popular analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg News journalist Mark Gurman expect Apple to launch a new entry-level notebook later this year, and they are two of the most reliable sources as to which refers to Apple and its upcoming product launch plans.

TrendForce specifically points out that it will be a new MacBook Air model, but Kuo and Gurman have not identified what exactly it will be.

Already earlier this year, DigiTimes stated that Apple will launch the first MacBook Air with Retina display in the second half of 2018, noting that it will be a 13-inch model. This week, he said Quanta will assemble new "cheap notebooks" from Apple in the fourth quarter.

In any case, Gurman expects that at least one of the entry-level laptops, if there is more than one, will have a starting price of $ 999 or less in the United States, which would raise it slightly above one thousand euros in Spain. and in the rest of European countries.

Recall, finally, that the current MacBook Air range has not seen any substantial updates in over three years. Since then, Apple has withdrawn the 11-inch model, while the processor in the base 13-inch model received a small increase in clock speed, but it is still a Broadwell chip from the 2014-2015 period.
