Apple develops cheaper MacBook Air with iPhone 16 Pro chip, targeting younger market.

Apple is reportedly developing a more affordable MacBook Air, expected to use the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip, breaking from the current M-series processors. Anticipated for release late 2025 or early 2026, the budget laptop could feature a 13-inch display and new colors like pink and yellow, aiming to attract younger users and compete with brands like Dell and HP in the lower-end market. Production targets of 5-7 million units for 2026 indicate Apple's intent to expand its market reach.
