It was just yesterday when we got a glimpse of the updated 2014 MacBook Air specs, and today, as expected, said updates are upon us. And we have all the details right here.
Last week it was revealed that the MacBook Air range would almost certainly be afforded a rudimentary refresh, including possible processor enhancement among a series of other minor tweaks. It is believed that said 2014 MacBook Air upgrade will arrive on Tuesday, and on the eve of the roll-out, a leaked shot appears to confirm all of the key details.
Over the last few weeks we have seen a lot of attention being paid to the future of Apple's mobile hardware and software. The annual speculation surrounding the next iteration of iOS has inevitably reared it's head ahead of this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. We've also been hearing about a number of possible inclusions that could form part of the next-generation iPhone. However, if mobile isn't your thing then a new post on Weiphone that outlines the purported future of Apple's MacBook lineup could be of extreme interest.
The fact that webcams are installed into each and every MacBook (and indeed, most other notebooks nowadays), can be of great usefulness, and the fact that Apple's computers present a green light when the camera is activated means that users are under no illusions as to whether the FaceTime camera is running or not. However, a piece of software in circulation, which has already been utilized by one unscrupulous individual, allows anyone to activate the camera without throwing up that green light, which is more than just a tad alarming.
It's an interesting insight into Apple's current situation that everyone tends to forget all about its popular MacBook lines. While the iPhone and iPad are seen as Apple's biggest prospects, and as such can often be neglected by those of us writing about the company, it's worth noting that it is still very much invested in the notebook market, making arguably some of the best machines in the business.
As per a report, a MacBook Air with Retina display is currently in the works, with a projected release bracket of Q3 2013. In recent times, the only rumors we've heard pertaining to the MacBook Air was that it would be getting a refresh around June, with no notable changes from the previous generations, but this report throws everything up into the air once more.
When Apple released the super slim line MacBook Air back in 2010, it was initially planned to be a three-pronged attack on the market, with an 11", 13" and 15" model of the company's thinnest notebook to date.
We’ve found yet another roundup of rumors confirming a March 2012 launch of new Apple Products. This time our information comes from iLounge, who bases their report on an unknown but “reliable” source. Remember that rumors are just that: rumors. Although sources are always claimed, or people that are close to the matter are cited, always take reports with a heavy grain of salt.
Many people associate China with fake products that are easy to come by, but they lack a lot of tech support since they're not made by credible companies. Yet, it now seems that an official Apple Store in China has serviced a fake MacBook Air, as in: not made by Apple.
According to inside information gathered by MacRumors, it appears that Apple is currently in the late testing stages of a 15" ultra-thin Mac notebook. After quietly axing it's 13" plastic MacBook just last week in favor of the 11.6" MacBook Air as it's basic, entry-level portable Mac, it seems as though Jobs and Co. are are already looking to fill in the void left by its departure.
