MacBook Air with iMac-Like Colors Reportedly NOT Launching in Apple WWDC — New Gold Shade Instead?

MacBook Air with iMac-like rainbow color options is reportedly missing out on the packed Apple WWDC event.

Apple surprisingly released a colorful lineup of its 24-inch iMac in 2021, and now its fans are looking forward to the same treatment for other Mac offerings like the MacBook Air.

The Cupertino-based tech giant is slated to introduce its upcoming MacBook Air 2022 during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), as per a news story by Apple Insider.

As such, excited fans are curious about what Apple has to offer this time around. Will there be more color options? Is it the debut of the all-new M2 chip?

MacBook Air with iMac-Like Colors

Some reports claim that the all-new 2022 MacBook Air introduces new colorful options-like what Apple did with its iMac.

Currently, the latest version of the MacBook Air comes with Apple standard colors, classical silver, as well as options like the dark "space gray" and the luxe "gold" color. These hues have been the available options for Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads, for a time now.

On the other hand, the latest iMac comes with an array of vibrant hues, such as blue, purple, orange, yellow, green, pink, and, of course, silver. Unlike the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, it leaves out options like gold and space gray.

Apple heavily flaunted the rainbow color selection of the 24-inch iMac in its ads and during its debut last April 20, 2021.

Reports these days are now claiming that the MacBook Air is getting these vibrants options as wel.

MacBook Air 2022: New Color Options

However, the Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman himself believes that Apple is sticking with the current color options, plus a single new one, on its new MacBook Air.

Gurman further suggests that reports claiming that Apple is introducing new rainbow color options for its MacBook Air are "probably exaggerated."

Instead, the Bloomberg journalist claims that Apple is most likely offering MacBook Air fans with the same color offerings, except for a new color option.

According to a recent report by MacRumors, Gurman believes that the new MacBook comes with the hues, which we have previously seen, such as gold, space gray, and silver.

But he says that the MacBook Air will debut this year with his favorite iMac color, blue.

Apart from the new shade, he predicts the gold option to get an upgraded look. Gurman suggests that it should get a more champagne look.

So, it appears that Apple is largely sticking to the typical color of its MacBook Air rather than adding vibrant options. But the tech giant is reportedly introducing a new blue color option.
