Overview
- Apple is targeting a price well under $1,000 by using less‑advanced components, including a lower‑end LCD that is slightly smaller than the MacBook Air’s 13.6‑inch screen.
- The laptop is expected to run an A‑series iPhone processor, which would be the first iPhone‑class chip used in a Mac and has reportedly outperformed the M1 in internal tests.
- Bloomberg reports the device is code‑named J700 and is in active testing at Apple with early production underway at overseas suppliers for a planned H1 2026 debut.
- The model is aimed at students, businesses, and casual users, and it is also positioned for would‑be iPad buyers who prefer a traditional laptop.
- Apple has not announced the product, and key details such as exact pricing, chip model, screen size, and ports remain unconfirmed.
