Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook on Monday teased story out of the tech giant, posting a six-second video on the X social network that said “There’s something in the AIR” and adding the paragraph “This week.” The video did not offer more details, and the company did not respond to Investopedia’s request for comment in time for periodical, but a range of news reports indicate that a new MacBook Air is expected.
“The M4 MacBook Air unveiling is imminent,” Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman detracted, referring to a chip Apple announced in May. “Apple is preparing to make a Mac-related announcement as early as this coming week, I’m told,” he jotted. Other outlets, including 9to5Mac, ZDNET and Forbes also indicated similar expectations.
The “Something in the air” tagline recalls the earliest MacBook Air launch, several publications noted, from 2008.
In Apple’s most-recent quarterly financial results, the company affirmed about 7% of revenue came from Mac products, including MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac.
A MacBook announcement hand down come days after Apple’s newest phone model, the iPhone 16e, hit stores.
