Acoustic Performance

• Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109
• Sound Power Level
• L W A,m (B)
• Sound Pressure Level
• Operator Position
• L p A,m (dB)
• Idle
• 1.3 ( K V = 0.3)
• 3
• Wireless web
• L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.
• L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).
• 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).
• K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
• The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad ) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .
• The wireless web test browses 6 tabs with a mix of content including media.
• Configuration tested: M4, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24GB unified memory, 512GB storage.
• Apple Intelligence is available in beta. Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. For feature and language availability and system requirements, see support.apple.com/121115 .
• Screen size is measured diagonally. The displays on the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air have rounded corners at the top. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 13.6 inches and 15.3 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).
• Testing conducted by Apple in January 2025 using preproduction 13-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M4, 10-core CPU, and 8-core GPU, and preproduction 15-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M4, 10-core CPU, and 10-core GPU, all configured with 16GB of RAM and 256GB 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/batteries for more information.
• 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
• Wi-Fi 6E available in countries and regions where supported.
• See support.apple.com/en-us/102596 for supported models.
• Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
• iPhone Mirroring is not available in all countries and regions. Some iPhone features (e.g., camera and microphone) are not compatible with iPhone Mirroring.
• iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are available on the Mac App Store. Downloading apps requires an Apple Account and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for each app.
• Data accurate as of product launch.
• Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in-box accessories.
• We estimate the percentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from low-carbon electricity by attributing to our carbon model low-carbon energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. This calculation assesses the suppliers for MacBook Air. Included in this number is only low-carbon electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apple's Supplier Clean Energy Program.
• Carbon reductions are calculated against a product-specific business-as-usual scenario as modeled by Apple: 1) No use of clean electricity for manufacturing or product use, beyond what is already available on the latest modeled grid (based on regional emissions factors). 2) Apple's carbon intensity of key materials as of 2015 (our baseline year for our 2030 product carbon neutrality goal). Carbon intensity of materials reflects use of recycled content and production technology. 3) Apple's average mix of transportation modes (air, rail, ocean, ground) by product line and by region across three years (fiscal years 2017 to 2019) to best capture the baseline transportation emissions of our products.
• Based on retail packaging as shipped by Apple. Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations of plastic content and packaging weight.
• ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
• Apple's Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple's restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple's end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards, and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
