So with a wide variety of people saying the midnight color is beautiful they also lament how bad fingerprints are. Do you think Apple will apply its new anodized seal from the MacBook Pro M3 Pros to the midnight finish on the MacBook Air next go around?

I voted 'no' as I think they M3 Air will simply be the M2 Air with a new chip and otherwise minimal changes.

I hope to be proven wrong!

I think Apple will put the new coating on next Macbook air midnight for one simple reason : drastically reduce the return rate.
And maybe another reason : 😊

Depends on what it costs, obviously. If they can they will.

I guess it's a simple calculation cost vs returns. Compare returns of that color to other colors. Of course if it costs Apple 10 cents more (total), going by this, it won't happen.
