MacBook Air successor will reportedly use Kaby Lake processors (but I say it won’t be called a MacBook Air)

<p style="white-space: pre-wrap;">According to a translated report from Taiwanese publication <a href="https://money.udn.com/money/story/5612/3279500" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Economic Daily News</em></a> — as noted by <a href="https://www.macrumors.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>MacRumors</em></a> — the successor to the MacBook Air will pack an Intel Kaby Lake processor. Makes sense as the release of the Cannon Lake chip, which would have been a logical choice, has  been delayed again. However, the Sellers Research Group says the new laptop won’t be dubbed a MacBook Air.</p>
