The M2 MacBook Pro has started making its way into customers' hands and we're learning more about how it performs in a variety of situations but all eyes are on the upcoming M2 MacBook Air which has seen a complete redesign and should be arriving in a couple of weeks
Additional M2 and even M3 Macs, an updated Apple TV, and a revived HomePod were some of the top stories this week.
Pre-orders for the new MacBook Air with the M2 chip are expected to start on Friday, July 8 according to a source.
The new MacBook Air will be available in July, but Apple didn't say when.
The new MacBook Air has a larger display, a flatter appearance, and new colors. MagSafe 3 charging, an upgraded camera, two ports, a Magic Keyboard with physical Fn keys, and more are included in the notebook.
The previous MacBook Air is still available for $299 in the US.
The M2 MacBook Pro has a slower read/ write speed than the M1 model.
The real-world tests conducted by Created Tech and Max Tech found that the read and write speeds of the 128 gigabyte model are 50% and 30% slower than the previous model.
A new Mac mini powered by an M2 Pro chip is included in the latest edition of Mark Gurman's PowerOn newsletter.
A new Apple TV with an A14 chip is one of the new products listed by Gurman. The majority of the products are expected to be on the market in the next two years.
The new Apple products mentioned by Gurman include a new HomePod with the same chip as the Apple Watch Series 8.
Gurman said that the new HomePod will be more similar to the original model in terms of size and audio performance. The updated display on the top of the speaker could be multi-touch.

For years, rumors have suggested that Apple is working on its own 5G modem for future devices, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this week claimed that Apple's efforts have failed so far.
As Apple continues to work on its own modem, this could mean that the new iPhone 15 models could be equipped with the latest version of the modem.
