Apple’s M4 MacBook Air Line: A New Sky Blue Hue and Goodbye to Smudge-Prone Midnight Finish

Summary Apple has addressed a significant issue with the fingerprint-prone midnight color on its MacBook Air line by introducing a breakthrough anodization seal. This improvement was first announced with the M3 MacBook Air but did not resolve the problem for the M2 model, which continued to be sold at a lower price. Starting this week, Apple has replaced both the M2 and M3 models with the new M4 MacBook Air. The M4 model features a fresh sky blue color option, an improved midnight color that resists fingerprints, and a starting price of $999.
