Apple’s rumored cheap MacBook could be powered by an iPhone chip

SMRTR summary

Apple is reportedly developing a budget MacBook priced around $600 that could launch in the first half of next year, targeting Chromebook and entry-level Windows PC users. The device will use an iPhone processor instead of Mac chips and feature a smaller LCD display under 13.6 inches to cut costs. Despite using mobile components, internal tests show the iPhone chip outperforms the older M1 processor previously used in MacBooks.
