178235046 story Apple Plans First Sub-$999 MacBook Using iPhone Chip, Analyst Says (9to5mac.com) Posted by
msmashon Monday June 30, 2025 @11:20AM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept. Apple plans to release a cheaper MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro line, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The laptop will be priced below $999 — first time for a MacBook Air — and go into production in late 2025 or early 2026 on the new laptop, the analyst noted. The device will feature the same 13-inch screen as the current MacBook Air, with the chip representing the primary difference between models. The A18 Pro chip delivers single-core performance around 3,500 on Geekbench, trailing the M4 chip only slightly, though multicore performance lags significantly at approximately 8,780 versus 15,000 for the M4. The A18’s multicore performance matches the original 2020 M1 chip. ← You may like to read: → Xbox Founding Team Member Says Xbox Hardware Is ‘Dead’ Apple Bows To Kremlin Pressure To Remove Leading VPNs From Russian App Store Apple Faces 25% Tariff Threat Unless iPhone Manufacturing Moves To US Sysadmins Rage Over Apple’s ‘Nightmarish’ SSL/TLS Cert Lifespan Cuts Trump Tells Apple CEO To Avoid Manufacturing in India Trump Says Tim Cook Called Him To Complain About the EU This is the most recent story.
