A leaker might’ve spoiled Apple’s biggest MacBook Air design update in years

Leaks preceding Apple’s mid-April virtual press conference claimed that the next iMac would be available in a variety of color options, reminiscent of early iMac models that came in a range of bright colors. Sure enough, Apple fulfilled that prediction during the keynote. The new 24-inch iMac comes with an incredible design and seven color options that are already available to order. Anyone could have speculated that Apple might do the same thing with MacBooks in the not too distant future as soon as Apple confirmed that iMac rumor. After all, the MacBook Air already rocks a unique gold color that’s not available on the MacBook Pro. Adding more options seems like the logical upgrade for the MacBook Air, considering the new iMac’s success.

It turns out that Apple might be doing precisely that, with a trusted leaker now saying that the company might be testing at least one new color option that could be available to MacBook buyers later this year. If Apple decides to offer the new MacBook Air in a wider range of colors, it could end up being the Air's biggest design upgrade in a very long time.
