2025 MacBook Air: Expected Camera Upgrade
The 2025 MacBook Air, anticipated to feature the M4 chip, may also include a significant camera upgrade. Regulatory documents suggest the inclusion of a "Front Ultra Wide Camera," potentially a 12MP Center Stage camera similar to the M4 MacBook Pro and iMac. This contradicts earlier speculation that the Air's camera might remain unchanged to differentiate it from the Pro models. The new camera would enhance video conferencing and content creation.
Release Timing and macOS Sequoia Hints
References to the M4 MacBook Air within the macOS Sequoia 15.2 update code further solidify its impending release, likely between March and May 2025, aligning with the M3 MacBook Air's March 2024 launch.
