Rumored 2022 MacBook Air unlikely to come in iMac-like colors, says Gurman

With the launch of a long-rumored new MacBook Air potentially days away as we near Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer’s Conference on June 6, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has shared that he believes previous reports about the new machine launching in a range of iMac-like colors is “exaggerated,” noting how the standard space gray, silver, and gold colors on the existing models are likely to stay, with the new addition of blue.

“The much-reported idea of the new MacBook Air coming in a range of “several colors” is probably exaggerated. Right now it comes in space gray, silver and gold,” wrote Gurman in a tweet over the weekend . “I wouldn’t expect more than those colors (though the new gold will be more champagne like) plus my favorite iMac color.”

Reports have suggested that the 2022 MacBook Air will be the first Mac to feature Apple’s new “M2” chip with an eight-core CPU like the M1 processor in the 24-inch iMac, boasting a more powerful 10-core GPU.

Leaker Jon Prosser has previously claimed that the new MacBook Air could feature a MacBook Pro-style notch, MagSafe charging, white bezels, and more.

Jon Prosser first shared his 2022 MacBook Air concepts last year which allegedly were based on information from a source with a proven track record who claimed Apple will bring “colors for average consumers” with colorful MacBook models, which will feature iMac-style white bezels, a new non-wedge design, white keyboard, and more.
