The repair process for the M4 MacBook Air is just as simple as it is for older models.

The Apple M4 MacBook Air, released on March 5, 2025, has been found to be just as repairable as its predecessors, according to a teardown by iFixit. The new model retains the same chassis as the M2 MacBook Air, introduced in 2022, making the disassembly process identical. The USB-C ports remain easily replaceable, and the battery is held in place by stretch release tabs. However, the Touch ID power button and keyboard are still challenging to remove.

Despite featuring an upgraded 12MP front camera with center stage support and a new Sky Blue color option, the M4 MacBook Air is practically identical to the M3 model. The device comes with performance improvements and better external display support but still has the NAND chips soldered onto the logic board, rendering the storage non-user upgradeable.

While Apple has published a repair manual for the M4 MacBook Air, some issues were encountered during a logic board swap by iFixit. Calibration problems with the ambient light sensor prevented the activation of the display’s True Tone feature.

Overall, reviewers consider the M4 MacBook Air to be a minor upgrade, with no significant structural or design changes. Despite the improvements, it lacks any surprise enhancements, leading to a consensus that it is a straightforward spec upgrade.
