The new MacBook Air refresh 2022 is expected to reach around six to seven million units, based on the new prediction made by Ming-Chi Kuo.
The reliable Apple analyst recently revealed that the new MacBook Air might not have the rainbow color variant option. Instead, it is might be released only in three standard color variants.
"The new MacBook Air (MBA) will more likely offer three standard color options and probably plus one new color, rather than the rainbow style like the iMac as the market expects," said the tech critic via his official Twitter post.
Now, he announced another detail that may excite interested MacBook Air refresh buyers.
MacBook Air Refresh 2022 Expected To Be Around 7 Million Units
According to Apple Insider's report, Apple will still have a hard time achieving the expected seven million MacBook Air refresh 2022 units.

Experts said that if the tech giant manufacturer wants to ship this many laptops, Quanta Computer, one of the major Apple suppliers in Shanghai, needs to make effort.
If Quanta can bring back its operation capacity to its pre-lockdown levels before the third quarter of 2022, there's a high chance that Apple can ship up to seven million MacBook Air refresh units in the second half.
Aside from the new shipment estimation, Kuo also believed that the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro will be better compared to the recent versions, especially since Quanta is assembling them with the help of Foxconn.

2H22 shipment forecast of new MBA is 6-7mn units if Quanta's Shanghai capacity can be back to pre-lockdown level before 3Q22. Delivery for new MBA made by two EMS (Quanta the 1st & Foxconn the 2nd) should be better than existing 14"/16" MacBook Pro (shipped by Quanta only).

Can Quanta Bring Back Its Pre-Lockdown Capacity?
As of writing, it is still hard to conclude if Quanta Computer can bring back its pre-lockdown production capacity. Recently, 9To5Mac reported that the Apple supplier was having some issues with its employees in China.
Workers are specifically complaining about the low wages that they receive from the gadget assembler. On the other hand, they also demand more freedom from the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions implemented by the company.
Meanwhile, the 15-inch MacBook of Apple is rumored to be not a MacBook Air model.
On the other hand, MacBook Air 2023 may feature a larger 15-inch screen.
