"The strongest argument against buying an M1 Air in 2024 is software support. Historically, Apple has provided new macOS versions and security updates based on the date that new Macs were introduced, which for the M1 Air is November of 2020. Apple could change its approach to software updates in the Apple Silicon era, but it has been fairly consistent on this point throughout the PowerPC and Intel eras. This means that an M1 MacBook Air purchased today could end up receiving two or three fewer years of software update support than an M3 Air purchased on the same day."
Apple execs are convening emergency meeting!
"We have been made aware that Walmart is selling our M1 MacBook Airs for $699, and we have concluded that we will stop software support for them next month."
