we have some exciting news and details for the new apple macbook air 14 inch release date and
price that i want to share with you we also have some really exciting news about the possibility
of the new apple silicon processor m1x will be inside that 2021 14 inch macbook air model
so if you want to hear the latest gaming news tech news reviews and comparisons hit that subscribe
button followed by the bell so last year in 2020 with the introduction of the new apple silicon m1
apple also said there'd be a two-year transition of moving all of its macs over to its own chipsets
that journey has started but there are some new design surprises on the way as well and improved
apple silicon chipsets into the m1x and also the m2 however today i want to home on in on
that newly designed apple macbook air 14 inch 2021 model if you are super excited about apple's new
products in 2021 hit that like button and let me know in the comments what apple tech you are
most excited about being released this year well let's get started with a nice easy one
let's start with the design the actual design of the 14 inch macbook air is actually looking likely
to be similar to the current 16-inch macbook pro that has smaller bezels all around the edge of
the screen and for the design to have much more of a slate look but still obtaining that classic
wedge on side the macbook air but mainly it will fall in line with the new ipad pros the new air
and also the iphone 12 and the iphone 12 pro look it's likely we'll see a slightly larger
battery life inside the 14 inch macbook air over the already impressive 18 hours we get with the 13
inch macbook air this is likely to increase up to around about 20 hours of usage on the
battery with the m1 chipset other changes most likely we will see is a slight increase in the
touchpad size however the current touchpad is very generous in size already other changes include a
far higher definition webcam built into the camera setup on the macbook air but we wouldn't see face
id as apple are continuing to push the touch id in their keyboard setup what makes sense as part of
the mac as because the keyboard is the most common place we actually rest our hands also to quash any
rumors out there the actual screen of the mapper air will not have any touch sensitive ability as
apple believe this is what you'd buy an ipad for for release date of the macbook air 14-inch we're
looking towards the second half of 2021 around september and october time it is most likely we'll
see the updates to the ipad pro and the ipad mini in the first half of 2021 but then we'll probably
see some bigger updates to max later on in the year but if you want to check out those ipad
videos have a look at my channel right after this video to get more info about those ipads
now to go along with those rumors and everything like that there is also the possibility that we
are going to see the new m1x chipset in march time just take a look at this leak here this came from
leeks apple pro and you can see the m1x is going to have 12 cores and that's going to be eight
performance cores and four high efficiency cores so basically we are seeing double the amount of
power cores so the m1 had four power cores and four efficiency cores we now got eight power cores
and four efficiency cores and it's also going to be on the 16 inch macbook pro first of all
to begin with so this does mean quite likely that the macbook air 14-inch for example
won't have the m1x chipset but let's talk a little bit more about the specs it is most likely apple
keep the same specs and options that we got with the macbook air m1 13 inch model inside the new
macbook air 14 inch model now the reason behind us apple love to do this when they transition from an
old design to a new design history has shown us in the last 15 years or so apple always does this
when they move from an older design to a new one for example if i take the last design macbook pro
13-inch model that came out in 2015 and this was the retina macbook pro and it still had those usb
ports the normal ones and again it was still super thin but didn't have the usbc ports those exact
specs so i'm talking about the processor the ram storage options and everything else were put into
the brand new touch bar 13-inch macbook pro there was no bump up in specs of a new intel chipset
ram or storage upgrades until the following year in that 13-inch macbook pro again apple did this
again in 2012 for example when they transitioned from the unibody macbook pro to the macbook pro
retina display they kept the same chipsets the same amount of ram the same storage options
so i think you're getting the picture here it is highly unlikely that the 14 inch macbook pro
will get better specs than what's in the current 13-inch macbook pro so we'll probably get the same
m1 chipset and we'll also get the same amount of ram options as well however before you think
this is disappointing news we've got to remember here that the new m1 chipset is one of the best
integrated ships out there at the moment it has an all-in-one package of eight core processor eight
core gpu dedicated ram and a newer engine all of this is based on an a architecture like the a14
chipset that we find in the iphone 12 and the ipad air the m1 chipset is giving us faster speeds in
mac os and also the ability to run ios apps and ipad apps natively on the new macs the benchmarks
for this chipset are even faster than the top most expensive option i9 processor 16 inch macbook pro
with 64 gigabytes of ram configured to it a m1 13 inch macbook air with just eight gigabytes of ram
beats the geekbench score by quite a bit as well of that 16 inch macbook pro so like i
said it's unlikely apple are going to upgrade the chipset in the 14 inch macbook until at least 2022
for price wise we expect a slight increase on the prices we do have a brand new design
with the model and we do have some sort of outer side spec changes but we believe this
price increase will be about 100 us dollars on the macbook pro 14-inch and this will be
for the baseline model so we're looking at around about 1099 us dollars and this would give you the
standard apple silicon chipset with eight gigs of ram and also 256 gigabytes of storage space
so just also a quick recap of when to expect new macs over the next year or so so following the
new mac mini macbook air and the 13-inch macbook pro as mentioned earlier lika minchiku believes
the next max again apple silicon processor will be the macbook pro 16-inch and with that
will also be the new rumoured 14-inch macbook pro as well those macs are likely to be updated until
mid 2021 though or even into september time coup also suggests that these new macbook pro models
won't ship until the second half or the second quarter of 2021 or even into the third quarter
of 2020 however we will also see the new air before the end of the year as well if you're
wondering where the max desktops figure into this lineup coo has also made no announcements
of the apple plans of transitioning desktop macs such as the imac to the new m chipsets
with the imax just updated with intel processors in august time it does not seem likely they will
get an update to the m1 chipsets for a little while yet so it's likely the imac won't see
the apple silicon processors until the end of 2021 or even into 2022. coup is actually quite
accurate with his actual leaks and everything he said back in march 2020 before apple announced
a transition from intel that the new armbase mac would arrive before the end of 2020 and so it has
so are you excited about the new 14-inch macbook air and will you be getting one soon after lunch
or will you get another mac instead let me know below what model you plan to buy well guys that
