Apple surprises with a RAM upgrade for M2 and M3 MacBook Air models

Apple has doubled the base RAM configuration on M2 and M3 MacBook Air models to 16GB without increasing the price. This move provides better value for consumers, with in-store inventory now featuring 16GB RAM by default instead of 8GB. The change follows the introduction of new M4-powered Macs but buys Apple time before updating the MacBook Air to an M4 chip in 2025.
