This October will see the unveiling of the new M4 MacBook Pro, Mac Minis, iMacs, and a refreshed iPad Mini But what about the most popular laptop in Apple's lineup--the MacBook Air?

Well, Ross Young, an analyst specializing in displays, reports that display panels for the Air and the new lower-priced 11th generation iPad are expected to begin shipping to manufacturers in October Also, as Mark Gurman corroborated, the two devices will be available in Q1

Translated, screens are on the way for these devices, with an expected launch date similar to when the M3 MacBook Air was launched this year

This is a fair question With all the new MacBooks coming out next month, why isn't the Air joining the party? It depends on the timing of the Cupertino release

In other words, it is because Apple likes to space things out and not offer everything in one big event (I would say “all the nitty-gritty stuff” but that would be very British) It is also a way to try to tempt people to the more expensive MacBook Pro Give the more expensive machine a few months with a better chip and see if you take the plunge

Honest? No Rumors of these two devices are certainly flying around, but that's mainly due to the fact that the MacBook Air is getting a spec upgrade to the M4 and the iPad 11 to the (allegedly) A16 found in the iPhone 15, pure and simple

OLED is a big selling point for the M4 iPad Pro, so it is a long way from being replaced by the least expensive iPad or MacBook Air The only thing I personally expect is that the iPad 11 will have a less reflective panel and a new display controller to stop the jelly scroll problem
