Apple plans low-cost MacBook based on iPhone processor
Agree, couldn’t agree more. Plus, can I have a gold one again?macgui said:We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk.
Times have changed a little. I'd hate to see Apple in a race to the bottom. Building a truly entry level MacBooks does have it's advantages. 13" MBAs have had pretty attractive sale prices, but I don't know if that's the vendors eating any of their cost.
Though it's 12" screen was somewhat limiting, I think it's one of the nice most travel-worthy MacBooks ever. After awhile it's processor really felt anemic, and its subsequent upgrades weren't much better.
Stick any processor better than the best one in the 2017 MB in it, and I might grab one. It wouldn't perform as well as my 13" iPad Pro but wouldn't be as awkward to use for longer than a few minutes. And it's macOS not iPadOS. I'd take that over an iPad running some kind of macOS as well.

I use my MacBook, I still use, to travel light. I didn’t check, but my gut feeling tells me this laptop will be lighter than a iPad with keyboard, and far more easy to carry around.9secondkox2 said:
Sounds like an iPad would fit tje bill nicely.longfang said:
Why not? I’d love an updated sub 900g notebook for travel. As I age I just couldn’t be arsed to lug so much around unto aircraft.9secondkox2 said:Incredibly stupid idea.Apple already has the MacBook Air.Now they want to make an iPad with a keyboard but no touchscreen?
the iPhone SOC is for the phone.Don’t weaken the Mac just to have an even cheaper model.Sounds really bad. -

I still use my MacBook gold (a beauty) with Dortana. Latest MacOs, and very workable. Would buy one without thinking.mpw_amherst said:
I've been waiting for this ever since they killed it. I have an M2 Air but that 12" was my favourite form factor. If they could make the new one also sub 1kg then perfect!Penzi said:C’mon 12” MacBook…

Why iPhone mirroring and Mac Live Activities aren't coming to the EU
If iPhone mirroring would mean that Apple would also had to allow Android mirroring, I understand this feature not made available in the EU. This is such a complex discussion between Apple and the EU. Apple not being a closed of system, because how big it is in the EU. But where to put the borders? What part should be open, what part not? Placing them here or there feels somewhat arbitrary. -
Trump demands 25% tariff on any iPhone not made in the US
And get richer cause he bought Apple stocks.No problem, just add 25% to the price in the USA and let customers know why. The Orange one will soon back track.
