The latest iteration of the MacBook Air features the powerful M4 chip and comes in an eye-catching new color: sky blue. Staying true to its tradition, Apple has included a beautifully matched charging cable that complements the chosen color of the laptop, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. For those who may not be in the market for the new M4 MacBook Air, there's still good news—a sky blue USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable is now available for purchase separately.
Shortly after the launch of the M4 MacBook Air this morning, Apple introduced the new sky blue cable on its online store. While this cable serves as a replacement for users who may lose or damage the original cable included with their Mac, many customers opt to buy it in different colors to mix and match their accessories. This USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable isn’t just compatible with the new MacBook Air; it can also be used with the M2 MacBook Air and later models, as well as with the Apple Silicon MacBook Pro models featuring the MagSafe port (specifically M1 Pro and later).
Unlike the darker midnight color variant, the sky blue option is a much lighter shade that offers a refreshing touch to the MacBook lineup. Apple describes this new color as a “beautiful, metallic light blue that creates a dynamic gradient when light reflects off of its surface.” Early real-world photos of the M4 MacBook Air in sky blue reveal that the hue can appear quite subtle, sometimes taking on a grayish tint depending on the lighting conditions.
The USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable measures 2 meters in length and is priced at $49. In addition to the stunning sky blue option, customers can also find this cable in other colors, including space gray, midnight, starlight, black, and white. It’s important to note that the cable is sold separately from the power adapter, which means users will need to utilize their existing charger.
For those interested in enhancing their MacBook Air experience or simply looking to add a splash of color to their tech accessories, the new sky blue USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable is an excellent option to consider.
