Which MacBook Air is 2560 × 1664?

Every 13-inch MacBook Air from the M2 model on has this screen. The 13-inch MacBook Air with M1 is different (2560 × 1600), and so is the 15-inch model (2880 × 1864). Apple menu › About This Mac shows your model.

The screen reaches up around the camera notch, which makes it slightly taller than 16:10; the menu bar sits in the strip beside the notch. These files are cut to that exact shape. Displays settings show a smaller "looks like" size because macOS draws everything at twice the scale; a wallpaper should still be the full 2560 × 1664.
