Title: Apple Plans First Sub-$999 MacBook Using iPhone Chip, Analyst Says

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/06/30/143...

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.
