MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Walmart's stock of the older MacBook Air with the M1 chip, previously sold for as low as $549, is now depleted with no indication of restocking, coinciding with rumors of a new lower-cost MacBook launch.
- Apple discontinued the M1 MacBook Air in 2024 after releasing newer models with M3 and M4 chips; the M1 model was initially priced at $999 but had seen significant price drops and occasional sales.
- Reports suggest Apple plans to release a new, more affordable MacBook featuring the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip, possibly as early as March, reviving the "MacBook" brand without "Air" or "Pro" labels.
