Is this the best price for a new M4 macbook air?
Have others heard rumors that macbook airs will be 120hz in 1-2 generations? Also, there are rumors that macbook pros may be coming with OLED later this year with M6 pro/max series. Possibly including touchscreen!

If you can't wait, wait. If you can't wait, don't wait.

Air M4 was $750 on Amazon last Black Friday, the lowest price. I can only answer your first question: yes, this is the lowest I've seen for the M4 model.
If you can't wait, wait. If you can't wait, don't wait.
But also remember, the old adage of "waiting if you can" no longer applies with our current economy. In the span of less than a year, we've seen component prices double, triple, or more in some cases.
Waiting for something might not be the best move. Especially if it's from a company that does NOT telegraph their upcoming releases until they deem it fit to announce. So "maybe" it has oled, "maybe" it has touchscreen -- or maybe not. There's absolutely, genuinely zero guarantee of anything.

Get what you need, when you need it.
I agree, get what you need now that will last and don't worry about the "latest and greatest"
Apple is slowly increasing prices and removing base models for sale (google Mac Mini M4)
The Ram and SSD inflation + shortage was mentioned in Apple's CEO conference call saying its raising the production costs for the future.
I don't see a deflationary period anytime soon (but thats just my own personal prediction).
Apple probably will offer higher Hz refresh rates along with a new design(s), possibly even removable SSD's (EU repairability laws). Nobody outside of Apple knows. They will have to justify the price increase(s) and a few luxury/quality of experience upgrades would be the way to go as a company to continue/increase sales.
I just ordered a M5 15" air to replace my 16" M1 Pro.

This is YMMV. I checked my local warehouse yesterday and it was $849. I believe the $xxx.97 designation makes it very location-specific.
