MacBook Air Mid 2014 but shows Mid 2013

Yes I was told something about that by a specialist in the store. But if you have a Core i7 model I do not believe the part number changed as the computer's processors we not changed, where as the Core i5s were.

Yes, I got the upgraded version, Core i7! I will go to the store tomorrow to see if they have anything saying 2014, and keep you updated. If I am not able to get something saying part B and 2014, I might just return it and wait a few months until this gets sorted out to buy one without this issue! I just do not like the idea of having something that was built a year ago. I guess I am picky!!

Hi, i have the same "Problem", plz Apple fix it !

BTO Core i5 with 8GB RAM...

Put your serial in here: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html

It will give you production year (I have the same problem as you and mine read 2014 on this site)

Hi, I am from Brazil and i have the same issue. Today, i contact support of my country and they said that is happened with the customized models. Mine is i5 with 8GB. From what a I've seen here, these problems have occurred only with i7 and 8gb. I agree with most here, that it is a problem that must to be fix.

Anyone knows somebody that have a standard model (i5 with 4gb) that shows as a "mid 2013"??

The processor is a 2014 model, makes NO sense that show as a 2013 model.

I can't really understand why people are posting ''i got the same problem and here's my info:'' when it stands multiple times in the beginning of the thread why it is so.

And for you who does have the i5 problem: Theres not really much you can do, it's the same processor. Sorry😟

If you want a MacBook Air with a 2014 staple and a I7 processor you need to wait for the october event when they are most likely presenting a new refreshed and heavily upgraded line of all sorts of Macs with Intels new and delayed ''Broadwell'' (except the Mac Pro which runs on a Intel Xeon processor) and maybe DDR4?

BUT theres more good news: the resell value will NOT drop because of the ''2013 mark'' if you bought it early or mid 2014, the seller will probably check the serial and see that it was built 2014.

PS. MacBook Pro and Mac Pro is NOT the same computer, in fact they are really far away from each other.

The Core i5s have the same issue

Can you be more specific?🙂 I did said if you bought a MBA with i7 you won't recive a ''early 2014'' mark...

My point is many people think that the issue is due to the fact that the 1.7 Ghz Core i7 is shared between the 2014 and 2013 models, but this is not the case,

First, not all Core i7 MBA models have this issue.

Second, It is not limited do the Core i7s many Core i5s also have the issue.

Exactly, if happened with all, but some people are getting the correct version. This is NOT normal, Apple must at least give an explanation for us.

others even have the standard 1.4Ghz 8GB model but still shows a Mid 2013 Model. Clearly not a sign of hardware issues i think.

But it is the same i7, the only thing they changed was the i5.

And if you chose the i7 you will receive a mid 2013 mark!

And even if you have new i5 and a 2013 mark: It doesn't matter that much since almost all the buyer always check up the serial and see the build date.

I wish i could go to the apple retail store and ask about it, but i can't, my town do not have, anyone here has been in the store? What they said? Anyone managed to exchange a i5 8GB by another with 2014 mark?

I found this in another forum:

Mine:

Very weird..

1. Thats most likely photoshoped picture since Apple DOESN'T sell MBAs with i7 with a 2014 mark...

2. Don't believe everything you see on the internet
