Apple MacBook Air (A3113) Teardown

Explore the Apple MacBook Air (A3113), 13 inch teardown, uncovering key components like the M3 processor, WiFi 6E, camera subsystem, and a cost-effective yet premium design.

Apple MacBook Air (A3113) Teardown

The Apple MacBook Air 13 (A3113) launched in March 2024 is positioned as a mid-to-high-end laptop, appealing to younger consumers and those seeking a premium Apple laptop experience without the price tag of the MacBook Pro. With the release of the new MacBook Air, Apple brings innovation and cost optimization, reflected in both the internal and external design decisions.

BOM (Bill of Materials) Comparison: MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro

The total hardware BOM for the MacBook Air 13" is approximately 43% of the BOM for the 2023 MacBook Pro, illustrating Apple’s strategy to deliver a cost-effective yet capable laptop. Key cost differences include:

  • Apple M3 Processor: The MacBook Air 13" uses the base M3 processor, which is significantly cheaper, with an estimated price one-third of that of the M3 Max found in the MacBook Pro. The M3 processor alone accounts for 41% of the MacBook Air’s total BOM.
  • Display: The 13" display, with a calculated 224 PPI, represents 18% of the BOM. Although its pixel density is lower than the MacBook Pro’s, it offers a high-quality viewing experience optimized for casual to moderate users.
  • Battery: The MacBook Air uses a four-cell battery, contrasting with the MacBook Pro’s six-cell configuration. The battery’s cost contributes to the device’s lightweight design and helps maintain a $7 price difference compared to the Pro.
  • Non-Electronic Components: The aluminum housing and keyboard contribute significantly to the mechanical cost, accounting for 73% of the non-electronics BOM. These components alone represent 10% of the total hardware costs, roughly $6 more than the average laptop analyzed by TechInsights.

Manufacturing Efficiency

One of the design philosophies behind the MacBook Air is simplicity. The teardown revealed that the Air has about 5% fewer assembly steps than the MacBook Pro, leading to a faster assembly time, although the Final Assembly and Test (FAT) costs for both devices are nearly identical.

Processor: The Apple M3

The heart of the MacBook Air 13" is the Apple M3 processor, fabricated using TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm process technology. This 8-core GPU-equipped M3 chip is the smallest among the M3 series processors, with a die-to-package area ratio of 0.22, optimized for performance and efficiency. The M3 delivers capable performance, ideal for everyday computing tasks while maintaining energy efficiency for longer battery life.

Camera Subsystem

The MacBook Air 13" (A3113) features a front-facing camera subsystem comprising:

  • Sony IMX132 Image Sensor: Delivers solid performance for everyday video calls and conferencing.
  • STMicroelectronics Ambient Light Sensor: Improves the user experience with adaptive brightness control.
  • onsemi Camera Power Management IC: Ensures efficient power delivery to the camera system.
  • Texas Instruments Temperature Sensor: Monitors thermal conditions, ensuring optimal camera performance in various environments.

The estimated total cost for the camera subsystem is slightly over $5, a modest investment for a critical user-facing component.

Connectivity: WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3

The MacBook Air supports the latest wireless standards with its WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 capabilities. The teardown revealed the use of a USI WiFi/Bluetooth module containing:

  • Broadcom BCM4388 WiFi 6E Modem: Powers the wireless networking capabilities.
  • Skyworks Power Amplifier Die: Optimizes signal strength.
  • Sony Switches: Enhance switching efficiency within the system.
  • Additional Components: Internal crystal oscillators, multiple couplers, and filters round out the connectivity module.

The total cost of the USI WiFi/Bluetooth package is estimated at $12.25, ensuring robust wireless performance in a compact form factor.

MacBook Air WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3

The Apple MacBook Air 13" (A3113) represents a well-thought-out balance of performance, cost-efficiency, and design simplicity. While it carries a lower price point compared to the MacBook Pro, the teardown reveals that Apple has strategically allocated resources to key areas like the M3 processor and connectivity, while maintaining a streamlined design and build process. As a result, the MacBook Air provides a premium user experience without the Pro’s price tag, making it a competitive option for consumers seeking a high-performance, lightweight laptop.

When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 13.6 inches and 15.3 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).</p><p>Testing conducted by Apple in January 2024 using preproduction 15-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M3, 8-core CPU, and 10-core GPU, and preproduction 13-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M3, 8-core CPU, and 8-core GPU, all configured with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. Testing conducted by Apple in May 2022 using preproduction 13-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M2, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 8 clicks from bottom. The Apple TV app movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 1080p content with display brightness set to 8 clicks from bottom. Battery life varies by use and configuration.

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.</p><p>All established final assembly supplier sites — those that have been Apple suppliers for more than one year — for MacBook&nbsp;Air are third-party verified as Zero Waste by UL LLC (UL 2799 Standard). UL requires at least 90 percent diversion through methods other than waste to energy to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill (Silver 90–94 percent, Gold 95–99 percent, and Platinum 100 percent) designations.</p><p>We estimate the percentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from clean electricity by attributing to our carbon model clean energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. Included in this number is only clean electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy Program.</p><p>Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations of plastic content and packaging weight.</p><p>Carbon reductions are calculated against a baseline scenario: 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 across three years (fiscal years 2017 to 2019) to best capture the baseline transportation emissions of our products.</p>
