Hopefully they bring back a 12" model.

I would be surprised if there are lower-end MBP (smaller than the 14") but a 12" might be better differentiation than 13" vs 14".

I just want a pastel orange MBA though.

That would be amazing. Still miss my 12” PowerBook…

Don't their current 13" models have about the same footprint as the old 12" laptops from way back when?

12" models were about an inch narrower.

According to everymac.com, the 12" PowerBook G4 (2004) had an amazing 10.9"x8.6" footprint (and the 12" MacBook (2017) was 11.04"x7.74" - and 2.03 pounds.)
