macOS Sequoia 15.2 Confirms New M4 MacBook Air Models Are Coming

Apple today made a mistake with its macOS Sequoia 15.2 update, releasing the software for two Macs that have yet to be launched. There is a software file for "Mac16,12" and "Mac16,13," which are upcoming MacBook Air models.

The leaked software references the "‌MacBook Air‌ (13-inch, M4, 2025)" and the "‌MacBook Air‌ (15-inch, M4, 2025)," confirming that new M4 ‌MacBook Air‌ models are in development and are likely not too far off from launching.

It's been widely rumored that Apple is working to bring the M4 chips to its entire Mac lineup, and the ‌MacBook Air‌ is expected to get an M4 refresh in the spring of 2025, so sometime between March and June.

We are not expecting to see design updates for the ‌MacBook Air‌, and the refresh will focus on the internals, namely the new M4 chip upgrade.

Hopefully it will get a RAM bump up to max of 64GB, 24 isn't enough for power users, multi-tasking, video editing.
Would a pro be better for those workflows?

Hoping they offer the nano-texture upgrade on the Airs. I skipped it on the iMac I just got since I don't have any lighting issues where I use it. But I use my current Air in all kinds of places and reflections can get annoying.

The M4 maxes out at 32GB of DRAM. You need to move to an M4 Max to get to 64GB of DRAM. For the target market, 24-32GB of DRAM is plenty. Regarding 24GB of DRAM, it is also plenty for power users, multitasking and video editing.
