Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests Apple could release a more affordable MacBook by 2026, potentially a successor to the 12-inch MacBook with iPhone chip technology.
The rumored MacBook would feature a 13-inch display and the A18 Pro processor, with casing color options in silver, blue, pink, and yellow.
Apple's move to use iPhone chips in laptops aligns with industry trends and could offer competitive pricing compared to MacBook Air models.
The new MacBook aims to boost total MacBook shipments, with estimates of 5 to 7 million units in 2026, targeting everyday users with affordability and vibrant design options.
