Slimmer bezels around the display could also mean we'll see a notch appear on the MacBook Air that sticks down from the top bezel to hold the webcam, a la the new MacBook Pros. (Image credit: Jon Prosser / RendersByIan) These displays are gorgeous, and the prospect of having one in an affordable ultraportable like the MacBook Air is good reason to get excited for 2022.Įven if the MacBook Air 2022 does end up sporting a notched display, don't worry: your eyes quickly adjust and stop noticing the notch. Right now all the rumors we've heard point to that being the case, as the next MacBook Air is tipped to sport slimmer bezels around a new mini-LED display like the ones found in the iPad Pro 2021 and the new MacBook Pros. Of course, a price increase makes more sense if the MacBook Air 2022 gets a significant redesign. At most we might expect to see the price jump up $100 or so, but taking the entry-level Air into the realm of four-figure pricing seems like a risk Apple isn't likely to take. With a starting price of $999 (or $899 for those in education) the MacBook Air is Apple's most affordable MacBook, and even with a new design and more powerful hardware a 2022 MacBook Air probably wouldn't stray too far from that baseline. I wouldn't expect any big shifts in pricing, either. These renders suggest what a MacBook Air 2022 with slimmer bezels and a camera notch might look like.
