Reliable leaker and YouTuber Jon Prosser has additionally shown what colors the new MacBook Air will have. Apparently, it looks like the MacBook Air will follow the footsteps of the 2021 iMac and current iPad Air models to feature seven bright colors.

Other additions expected to arrive in the next MacBook Air include returning ports like HDMI, SD Card slot, and MagSafe.

And if all of aforementioned features are not enough, it will also sport a Mini-LED display, making use of miniaturized backlighting and featuring over a thousand full-array, locally-dimming (FALD) zones. Apple is already using this display on the 12.9″ iPad Pro.

Both Gurman and Prosser expect the next-gen MacBook Air to arrive in the second half of 2021 or in 2022.
