The novelties of these new MacBook Air are mainly focused on the new Magic Keyboard with scissor mechanism and other small changes that we show below in these two comparison tables with the specifications of both models. The best thing, that they have added improvements without touching the price and the worst thing is that they continue with their camera to make video calls through Facetime that maintains 720p. Changes to the video card adding the new Intel Iris Plus Graphics, they start with a 256 GB SSD and the new one has a few grams more weight among others small differences.
