Overview

- Launch is targeted for the first half of 2026 at a price reportedly "well under $1,000."
- The model is expected to use an A‑series iPhone processor and a lower-end LCD just under 13.6 inches, which would be a first for a Mac and the smallest current Mac display.

- Apple declined to comment, and the final chip, design details, display size, and exact pricing have not been confirmed.
