MacBook Air With USB-C Again Rumored, Launch Timeframe Unclear
Last month, Japanese blog Mac Otakara reported that Apple plans to an**unce new MacBook Air models featuring USB-C ports based on the Thunderbolt 3 protocol by the end of June, and begin shipping the **tebooks to retailers in August. It is **w seven weeks later, however, and the rumor has yet to materialize.
 But if a new report from Taiwanese website DigiTimes is to believed, Apple still has plans to release a new MacBook Air With USB-C ports after all. The report does **t provide a Launch Timeframe for the updated **tebooks, but the secondary rumor suggests Mac Otakara may have been off on timing only. Currently, Apple has decided to adopt the USB Type-C interface for its MacBook Air, while Asustek Computer and Hewlett-Packard (HP) are upgrading one of their **tebooks' regular USB port to the Type-C. Le**vo, Acer and Dell are still evaluating the option.DigiTimes previously reported that Apple will begin shipping new "ultra-thin" 13-inch and 15-inch MacBooks at the end of the second quarter, which ended in late June. The report said the new MacBooks would "share a design similar to the existing 12-inch MacBook" and be "thinner than [the] existing MacBook Air." DigiTimes also previously reported that Apple plans to release new ultra-thin MacBooks With metal injection molded hinges in the second half of 2016. The website is **t always an accurate source of Apple's upcoming product plans, but it has well-connected supply chain sources that have proven reliable at times in the past. Apple's entire Mac lineup, beyond the 2016 12-inch MacBook, has stagnated. Apple has **t released a new MacBook Air in over 500 days, beyond a mi**r 8GB RAM bump for 13-inch models in April. Some believe the MacBook Air's days are numbered, but perhaps the **tebook will live on until Apple can sell the 12-inch MacBook from $999. Alternatively, it is possible that DigiTimes is misinterpreting a thinner MacBook Pro with USB-C ports as a MacBook Air within the supply chain. If a new MacBook Air is incoming, a late-year Launch is most probable. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple will Launch three new MacBook models by year's end: a thin and light 13-inch MacBook in the June-September quarter, and two thinner and lighter 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models in the September-December quarter.
