Apple sells a wide range of MacBooks in the market these days but it might have been different if Ive had his way earlier. News 

Former Apple executive Jony Ive expressed a desire to discontinue the MacBook Air lineup: Read the complete story here.

Adriana Marais,

The Apple MacBook Air and Pro lineup could have been combined if the company had decided to follow the advice of chief designer and Apple veteran Jony Ive. MacBook Air is one of Apple’s best-selling products, but I think the company doesn’t need two models and gives them all in one product. Details of Ive’s interest in killing the Air model have been shared by veteran reporter Walt Mossberg in a recent podcast. Anecdotes about Ive’s time at Apple were quoted to a “high-level source” with a good understanding of…

Apple has confirmed a new security flaw that greatly affects older iPhone models and M-series MacBooks.

Report: Apple Reportedly Planning to Release Next-Generation MacBook Air Featuring M3 Chip in March 2024

Adriana Marais, ,

Apple last updated its MacBook Air lineup earlier this year, when the company launched a 15-inch MacBook Air model powered by the M2 chipset. However, apart from the size difference, there was nothing new compared to the 13.6-inch model. Now that Apple has announced its M3 chipset and M3-powered MacBook Pro models, it makes sense for the iPhone maker to release new M3-powered MacBook Air models as well. This is exactly what Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported. Apple will update the MacBook Air line in March 2024 and deliver the…

Find Out If Your MacBook Battery Needs Replacing: Here’s How To Check

Sanjay Patil, , , ,

Like smartphones and most other consumer technology devices, laptops, including Apple’s MacBooks, use lithium-ion batteries. If you’re not familiar, these batteries degrade over time due to their chemical nature.

While most laptops don’t readily provide information on battery health or charge count, MacBooks, like iPhones, have a battery health indicator. You can even check the number of power cycles. Apple recommends replacing the MacBook battery when it drops…
