Apple might be shaking up its MacBook lineup with two new major releases. We might finally be getting a true budget friendly MacBook this year, while next year is expected to bring a major upgrade to the MacBook Pro models. Together, these two MacBooks could allow Apple to cater to both entry level users and high end professionals.
Apple Could Disrupt Budget Friendly Laptops with $599 MacBook
The Cupertino based giant is rumored to launch the MacBook Pro with an OLED display. This marks a major display upgrade, with the panel allegedly supporting touchscreen functionality as well. Now, known tipster Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed that a more affordable MacBook is also in the works. It will be the most affordable MacBook in the lineup, arriving as the entry level model that is positioned below the MacBook Air.
Based on our previous report, the iPhone maker will debut the budget MacBook with an iPhone chip (an A series processor). If this is true, then Apple could be blurring the lines between the iPad and MacBook. Ming-Chi Kuo further adds that the iPhone A series chip powered MacBook will enter mass production in the fourth quarter of this year, but will skip touch support.
It might be equipped with the A18 Pro SoC, which is the same chip that powers the iPhone 16 Pro models and could sport a 12.9-inch display. Pairing this with the OLED MacBook Pro with touch support, the next generation of Apple computers seems quite interesting and appealing for creative professionals and budget buyers. Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.
