MacBook Neo Won’t Let Chromebooks Or Windows Laptops Take A Breather This Year As Apple Eyes Ambitious 10 Million Production Goal
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple is reportedly facing supply issues with the A18 Pro chip used in its popular MacBook Neo, which could impact the product's availability and cost.
- To address this, Apple has increased its MacBook Neo production target from 5-6 million units to 10 million units for the year, despite having to pay TSMC a premium for non-binned A18 Pro chips due to high demand from other customers.
- The increased chip and DRAM costs may lead to higher MacBook Neo prices, but Apple might introduce new colors to help offset the price increase for consumers.
- Despite supply challenges, Apple is focused on minimizing delivery delays, which currently can extend up to four weeks for the most affordable MacBook models.
- The rumor is rated as plausible (60%) due to reasonable evidence from credible sources like Culpium, but some uncertainties remain.
