Apple CEO Tim Cook just posted a teaser to X with the caption “This week.” and a six-second video showing the words “There’s something in the AIR.” We’ve been expecting the M4 MacBook Air announcement for a couple of weeks now, and with the iPhone 16e reveal out of the way, it looks like this is the week.

This announcement is right on time, coming in the same month as the M3 MacBook Air did last year. We’ve also known the device was coming since December when the macOS Sequoia 15.2 update accidentally referenced two 2025 MacBook Air models.
Industry experts such as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman aren’t expecting any major upgrades or design changes this time — which is becoming a rather common pattern with MacBooks in recent years. This also means we’re expecting two models in the same sizes as last year: 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch.
There have been rumors reported by 9to5Mac that the M4 MacBook Air will be able to run two external displays as well as its own — so we’ll finally find out if this is true or not. As for the chip, the standard MacBook Air practice is to only offer the base chip (no Pro, Max, or Ultra) because the product is aimed at consumers with light workloads and a lower budget.
All in all, we’re not expecting any surprises with this announcement. M3 MacBook Air owners likely won’t feel the need to upgrade, though M2 or M1 owners might. I am an M2 Air user myself, so I’ll be waiting to see whether they can tempt me or not.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
