I am known for my strong views on mobile technology, online media, and the effect this has on and communication will have on the public conscious and existing businesses. I've been following this space for over ten years, working with a number of publishers, publications and media companies, some for long periods of time, others for commissions, one-off pieces or a series of articles or shows. As Scotland’s first podcaster, I continue to be a prominent voice in the rise of podcasting and new media online, and picked up a British Academy (BAFTA) nomination for my annual coverage of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, alongside contributions to Radio 5 Live, the BBC World Service, presenting Edinburgh local radio's coverage of the General Election.

(Photo by James Looker/MacFormat Magazine via Getty Images) Apple has regularly used WWDC to launch ‘secondary’ products, and a refresh of the MacBook Air not only fits that historical pattern but also promotes the new macOS hardware both to an audience which has a love for macOS, but also ensures that the MacBook Air picks up visibility ahead of the ‘back to school’ market where the ultraportable has fared well in previous years. So, what will Apple do about the pricing? There’s a lot of discussion around a potential $799 price point, but I don’t think that Apple will go that low.
Putting aside the current MacBook Air,. I don’t think that Apple – with the brand’s emphasis on quality that comes at a price – will be looking to have a $500 price difference between the MacBook Air and the MacBook. Which makes the discussion around a retina display in this new MacBook Air the key to unlock the pitch. Not only does it give existing Air users a reason to upgrade their older hardware to get the new screen, it also gives Apple a reason to keep the price as high as possible. Given the new MacBook Air is not going to push the envelope in terms of specifications (the Pro in the MacBook Pro needs to stand for something) a focus on a screen that delivers retina levels of density at “the lowest price point ever” is all the marketing the machine needs. Put that all together.
The Air is renewed, it picks up new technology, it becomes the entry-level machine with mid-range specifications, and Apple retains a notable margin on every unit sold. Follow me on.
