Hot Cakes

MacBook with A18 Pro rumored to be in the works. Per MacRumors.

In an article published on X, Kuo explained that the device will feature a 13-inch display and the A18 Pro chip, making it the first Mac powered by an ‌iPhone‌ chip. The A18 Pro chip debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro last year. To date, all Apple silicon Macs have contained M-series chips, which offer higher core counts, support for larger amounts of memory, and better external display support. The more-affordable MacBook could come in Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow finishes.

Sounds to me like the low-cost $699 MacBook Air that Apple sells through its lower-end channels (maybe still just Walmart?) has been a success, and they want to bring that price point into the broader lineup. This is a smart way to hit that price point while still making the product feel fresh, new, and—let’s be real—with colors, crazy popular.
