Apple is reportedly set to release a 12.9-inch MacBook in spring 2026, targeting the entry-level to mid-range market with competitive pricing. This new MacBook is expected to feature the iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip, offering performance comparable to the M1 chip. The anticipated price range in the U.S. is between $599 and $899, positioning it below the MacBook Air. It might include 8GB of RAM and regular USB-C ports due to the A18 Pro chip’s limitations. The device could also come in various colors, including silver, blue, pink, and yellow, and resemble the discontinued 12-inch MacBook with its ultra-thin design. The MacBook is expected to be announced soon, aligning with ongoing rumors about a more affordable Apple laptop.
