This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs, identifiers, benchmarks, and global prices (as well as a handful of Q&As) on the new "Haswell" MacBook Air models, complete iOS 7 compatibility details, and preliminary OS X "Mavericks" compatibility information.

EveryMac.com will be updated with specs and other info on the forthcoming "Black Cylinder" Mac Pro when more details are available "later this year." In the meantime, you may find EveryMac.com's recently updated Mac Pro Q&A useful to upgrade an existing model whether for an immediate speed boost or long-term legacy use.

Additionally, the Currently Shipping, By Year, By Processor, By Case Type, By Capability, and By Identifier Mac specs listings have been updated and Mac Manuals, Mac Benchmarks, and Global Original Mac Prices have been updated, also.

The Ultimate Mac Comparison, Ultimate Mac Lookup, and Ultimate Mac Sort features all have been updated, too.

Finally, the EveryMac app [subsequently discontinued] -- designed for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad -- has been updated to cover the new MacBook Air models and iOS 7 compatibility details, as well.

For those interested in saving money on a new MacBook Air, site sponsor PowerMax has the latest models free of sales tax and with free shipping (and likewise has some discontinued models at discounted prices, but only while supplies last).

If you bought, or buy, a new MacBook Air, please send in its serial number. The non-personal information will be added to EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you.
