iFixit has completed a full teardown of the 2013 MacBook Air and overall, nothing major internally has changed compared to 2012 models aside from the following:
The iFixit team notes in order for Apple to boost the speed of its flash storage by “up to 45%”, the company implemented the following, via Samsung:
