Overview
- The project, code-named J700, is reportedly in active testing at Apple and in early production with overseas suppliers.
- Bloomberg reports the laptop will use an A-series iPhone processor and a lower-end LCD with a screen slightly under 13.6 inches.
- Apple is expected to price the model well below today’s $999 entry MacBook Air to target students, casual users, businesses and iPad shoppers who prefer a laptop.
- It would be the first consumer Mac powered by an iPhone chip, with internal tests said to show performance above the M1 used in recent years.
- Apple has not commented on the unannounced device, which reporting indicates is slated for the first half of 2026 to directly challenge entry-level Windows PCs and Chromebooks.
