Apple is currently working on a new MacBook that will be powered by the A18 Pro chip. This information was revealed through backend code findings reported by *MacRumors*. Notably, the device is expected to be a low-cost model, which will make it unique as it will utilize an iPhone chip for the first time. According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the new MacBook will feature a 13-inch display and will be offered in various colors, including silver, blue, pink, and yellow.
Recent discoveries by *MacRumors* indicate that they first detected the presence of this device in Apple’s backend code last summer, confirming its use of the A18 Pro chip. The device is labeled with the identifier “Mac17,1.” Until now, all Apple silicon Macs have relied on M-series chips, known for their higher core counts, superior memory capabilities, and better external display support. The A18 Pro chip made its debut in last year’s iPhone 16 Pro.
Kuo suggests that mass production of the new MacBook is slated to start late in the fourth quarter of 2025 or early in the first quarter of 2026, indicating a potential launch in the first half of next year. In addition to this new development, various rumors and updates suggest that Apple is also preparing to refresh other products such as the AirPods Pro. Fans are excited about the expected new features, while the company continues to innovate in its product offerings, including accessories and services associated with its credit card offerings. As the tech world watches closely, Apple appears to be gearing up for significant releases in the near future.
