Some iPhone features (e.g. camera and microphone) are not compatible with iPhone Mirroring.
Power and Battery: Testing conducted by Apple in January 2026 using pre‑production 13‑inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M5, 10‑core CPU and 8‑core GPU, and pre‑production 15‑inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M5, 10‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, all configured with 16GB of unified memory and 512GB SSD. Wireless web battery life tested by browsing 25 popular websites while connected to Wi‑Fi. Video streaming battery life tested with 1080p content in Safari while connected to Wi-Fi. All systems tested with display brightness set to 8 clicks from bottom and keyboard backlight off. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.
Software availability: some software may be sold separately.
Storage: 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Touch ID: Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is included with iMac (M4) systems with 10‑core GPU, iMac (M3) systems with 10‑core GPU and iMac (M1) systems with 8‑core GPU. It is available as an option on iMac (M3) systems with 8‑core GPU and iMac (M1) systems with 7‑core GPU.
Up to 3.8x Faster than PC Laptop with Intel Core Ultra X7: Testing conducted by Apple in February 2026 using pre‑production 15‑inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M5, 10‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 16GB of unified memory and 512GB SSD, as well as production Intel Core Ultra X7 300H Series‑based PC systems with Intel Arc Graphics, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and the latest version of Windows 11 available at the time of testing. Time to first token measured with an 8K‑token prompt using a 14‑billion parameter model with 4‑bit quantisation, and LM Studio 0.4.2 (Build 2). Tested with equivalent display brightness settings for all units. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Air.
Up to 6 More Hours Battery Life than the Intel‑Based MacBook Air (Up to 18 Hours Total): Compared with 1.1GHz dual‑core Intel Core i3–based MacBook Air. Testing conducted by Apple in February 2020 using pre-production 1.1GHz dual‑core Intel Core i3–based MacBook Air systems with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD.
