Apple Expected to Announce M4 MacBook Air This Week, New iPads Likely to Follow

The refreshed MacBook Air models will feature M4 silicon, while updated iPads are anticipated in the coming weeks with internal upgrades.

Apple is reportedly preparing to announce new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models featuring the M4 chip as early as this week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
The M4 chip is expected to deliver significant performance improvements, including up to 3.4 times faster speeds for resource-intensive tasks compared to the M1 chip.
While new iPads are also anticipated soon, they are unlikely to debut alongside the MacBook Air and may launch in March or April.
The upcoming iPads, including the iPad Air and iPad 11, are expected to feature internal upgrades, such as M3 or M4 chips for the iPad Air and A16 Bionic or A17 Pro chips for the iPad 11, with no major design changes rumored.
Apple's MacBook Air lineup is expected to retain its current design, with pricing for the 13-inch model likely starting at $1,099 if no price increase is implemented.
