As we head into theWorldwide Developer Conference, rumors are swirling about both software and hardware. In recent history, the WWDC opening keynote focused exclusively on software improvements across the ecosystem. However, with Apple’s refresh to the product lines, there is an undercurrent of anticipation; we may at least see a colorfully refreshed MacBook Air.

Celebrate the full Apple silicon switch with these Apple M1 processor wallpapers.

The MacBook Air was one of the first devices to receive the M1 chipset, but lacked a specific form factor refresh. The iMac and MacBook Pro both received the processor upgrade and a matching hardware refresh.

Consequently, the chance MacBook Air gains the M2 first is possible, based on precedent, and a matching hardware refresh to bring the device more in line with the more squared, industrial design originally popularized by the iPad Pro.
