2022 MacBook Air Again Rumored to Feature Mini-LED Display

Apple's next-generation MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/) will feature a mini-LED display (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mini-led/) and launch in 2022, according to DigiTimes (https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20211015PD206.html).

DigiTimes previously said (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/01/07/digitimes-mini-led-macbook-air-to-launch-in-2022/) that the ‌MacBook Air‌ is set to get a mini-LED display in the future, but the Taiwanese publication has now doubled-down on the claim.





Citing industry sources, the latest report says that Apple is "likely" to adopt mini-LED backlighting for a ‌MacBook Air‌ with a 13.3-inch display. The device is rumored to launch in 2022.





The new mini-LED model is expected to boost ‌MacBook Air‌ shipments by around two million units next year. The report added that the 11-inch iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) is also likely to adopt a mini-LED display in 2022.





The claim comes after the launch of the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which both feature the first mini-LED displays on a MacBook, stylised by Apple as "Liquid Retina XDR" displays. Rumors of a mini-LED ‌MacBook Air‌ have been floating around for some time, with the reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/) repeatedly (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/12/02/kuo-two-macbook-pros-2021-and-macbook-air-2022/) saying that the 2022 ‌MacBook Air‌ will feature a mini-LED display (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/22/mini-led-macbook-air-mid-2022/).





Apple now uses mini-LED technology for a range of its high-end devices, including the Pro Display XDR, 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌, and the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro. Mini-LED (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mini-led/) on the ‌MacBook Air‌ would be a significant development in Apple's product lineup because the technology has been reserved only for "Pro" products thus far.





&zwnj;Mini-LED&zwnj; display technology brings a significant improvement display quality, allowing for thinner, lighter designs while offering benefits like improved wide color gamut, high contrast and dynamic range, and truer blacks. Several reports have suggested (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/16/kuo-macbook-shipment-growth-adoption-mini-led/) that MacBooks will be the main driver of mini-LED panel shipments going forward as Apple transitions to the technology across many of its products with displays.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: digitimes.com (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/digitimes-com/), Mini-LED (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mini-led/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: MacBook Air (Caution) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Air)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: MacBook Air (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-air.122)</div>
