Cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone chip coming in 2026, per new report

SMRTR summary

Apple is developing its most affordable MacBook ever, priced under $1,000 and powered by an iPhone A-series processor rather than the M-series chips used in current Mac laptops. The machine, code-named J700, is currently being tested and is expected to launch in the first half of 2026. It will feature a smaller screen than the current 13.6-inch MacBook Air and use lower-end components to achieve the budget price point.
