Apple has updated the MacBook Air (2018)’s display to hit a brightness level of 400 nits, according to a recent Reddit post.
The screen previously was only able to turn up to a brightness of 300 nits, according to Apple’s own spec sheet for the laptop. MacRumors confirmed that the Air’s screen brightness increase is tied to macOS 10.14.4, which first dropped back on March 25th.
