Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts a budget-friendly 13-inch MacBook, powered by an iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip, launching in late 2025 or early 2026. This will be the first Mac using an iPhone chip, a departure from the usual M-series chips. The new MacBook aims to boost sales, potentially accounting for 20-28% of MacBook sales in its first year, with Everwin Precision as a major casing supplier. It's expected to be available in multiple colors.
