Upcoming MacBook Air redesign hugely inspired by new iMac - XDA Developers

Apple will reportedly introduce a significant redesign to the MacBook Air, with the biggest change being getting rid of the tapered design.

The tapered unibody design has been a staple of the series since its introduction in 2008, but the upcoming model will instead more closely match the iMac and MacBook Pro.

A video posted by Jon Prosser (via 9to5Mac) claims the redesigned MacBook Air will feature flat edges that are reminiscent of the MacBook Pro, and colors that match the new iMac.

Prosser was apparently given genuine images of what the new MacBook Air will look like.

The renders showcase the alleged MacBook Air in a variety of colors to match the recent iMac redesign, along with one USB-C port on either side of the laptop.

Meanwhile, the MacBook Air is expected to feature white bezels around the display, along with a redesigned keyboard that’s also white.

That’s a pretty drastic change from the current MacBook Air design, which features a lot of black — but the renders show that the changes could work with the new colors!
