Along with the unveiling of the 2018 iPad there was rumor about the release of a Macbook Air, with a lower price than the current one, that broke the barrier of € 1000, that is to say, that it cost something less than this amount. Be that as it may, Apple has something prepared with the MacBook Air, which some took for dead.
In any case, there is nothing concrete, since as we have learned from a supplier in the supply chain, The MacBook Air from 2018 won't go into production, at least until next fall. Of course, it is rumored that it comes with a Retina display.
DigiTimes was the first to report Apple's intention to launch a 13-inch MacBook, which would serve as a replacement for the MacBook Air. But with this change in stance, it seems that Apple wants to keep the MacBook Air as the entry-level Mac and affordable for the education sector. It would also be valid for those who want to test a Mac without great requirements on the computer.
In fact, months after the DigiTimes information, we see how Kuo offered us details of a MacBook Air, at a lower price and it was speculated to have a retina screen.
To have any more opinion we look at the Taiwanese newspaper, Economic Daily News, which is betting on a MacBook Air between € 799 and € 899, figures that contrast with those offered by Bloomberg, which does not know what name the new Apple Mac will have, but it will be below € 1000.
Be that as it may, today we find information from some Apple suppliers:
Sources said Apple has informed supply chain partners that mass production of its new notebook model for 2018 will not begin until the second half of the year, without explaining the change in dates. Some partners speculated that the postponement could be due to problems with some key components, such as processors.
Therefore, since generally in the WWDC hardware is not presented. Let's remember that it is a team that was renewed 3 years ago and Apple has to make a move to show us what the future of this segment of laptops will be.
