Apple may be planning to launch a cheaper MacBook model, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Unlike current MacBooks powered by Apple’s M-series chips, this upcoming model is expected to use the A18 Pro which is the same chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro. The device may come in multiple colors, including silver, pink, and yellow, and could retain the 13-inch display seen on the current MacBook Air. Kuo notes that aside from the processor, the rest of the specs may be largely similar to the MacBook Air.
