Apple continues to accelerate its machinery to launch new devices in 2025, and the most exciting thing is the arrival of the MacBook Air with the long-awaited M4 chip. According to a report by renowned Apple analyst Mark Gurman, production of the 13- and 15-inch versions of the MacBook Air will begin shortly, with a launch planned for early next year.
However, it is not all good news: Mac Studio renewalwhich will also feature the M4 chip, has been delayed.
New MacBook Air in early 2025
Although the new MacBook Air will not come with significant aesthetic changes, Apple will focus all its efforts on the M4 chip, an update that promises a notable improvement in performance and energy efficiency compared to his predecessors. This new chip will underpin the entire Mac line, including the Pro and Max variants, which are expected to be unveiled at an Apple event next week.
The new MacBook Air will hit the market between January and March 2025which means that we will soon be able to enjoy the speed and efficiency that the M4 chip promises. The goal is to offer an even smoother user experience, both for daily tasks and more demanding jobs.
One of the most anticipated devices, Mac Studiowas scheduled to be updated alongside the MacBook Air. However, according to Gurman’s report, its launch has been postponed until at least March or June 2025. This change in plans could be related to adjustments in production or new features that Apple is fine-tuning for its final version. Although it was initially expected for mid-2025, it has not yet been clarified why Apple has decided to slightly advance its launch.
This delay in the launch of the Mac Studio could disappoint pro users who were expecting this powerful machine sooner, but Apple is likely working to ensure the device is perfectly optimized with the new M4 technology.

Apple will not be left alone in the renewals of the MacBook Air and the Mac Studio. Gurman also anticipates that, in the same launch window of the first months of 2025, the company will present new versions of the iPhone SEthe iPad Air and the low-cost iPad. Additionally, Apple is expected to launch a new keyboard designed specifically for the iPad Air, improving the typing and productivity experience on its popular tablet.
Additionally, a completely new device is also on the horizon: a home hub with a small, square screen, designed to centralize the control of smart devices in the home. This new gadget could be a bet by Apple to expand its ecosystem towards the home automation market, competing directly with devices such as the Google Nest Hub or the Amazon Echo Show.
The year 2025 seems to be shaping up to be a key period for the Cupertino company. In addition to updates to its most popular devices, such as the MacBook Air and the Mac Studio, Apple is preparing the launch of the M4 Mac Pro, the most powerful device in its line, although its arrival is not expected until the end of 2025. This new M4 chip generation promises to take Mac performance to new levels, adapting to both the needs of ordinary users and those of professionals who require high-power equipment.
