As part of theM4 MacBook Air announcementon Wednesday , Apple also revealed a sword novel MacBook color : Sky Blue . But it comes with a price : go is the MacBook Air ’s longstanding Space Gray pick , which means that Apple no longer offers any raw Mac in Space Gray .
Space Gray made its debut on the iPhone 5s in 2013 ( which we advert to as “ something called ‘ distance gray'”when it was infix ) . The first Mac in Space Gray was the12 - in MacBook in 2015 , which we name as a “ serious and advanced finish”–we also mistakenly write it as “ grizzly ” and not “ gray-headed ” as Apple put it .
While Space Gray had only one name during its tenure , it take on different shades over the year . Sometimes it was lighter and nearly silver , other times it was darker and closer to Joseph Black . Which was an odd thing for Apple , a company that prides itself in its design consistence . Apple has not commented on the closing of Space Gray , and just because it ’s no longer offer on a Mac decent now does n’t mean it ’s gone constantly . Apple could decide to revive it someday .
Apple ’s Mac colour choices are bright and colourful ( with one darker Midnight option ) on the consumer side , metal shades on the pro side , and silver for the tween - ish Mac miniskirt . If you really want a Space Gray Mac , you have to settle for onetime model at third - political party retail merchant or in theApple licence Refurbished Store . However , Space Gray still lives on theiPad Airand theiPad mini .
