Apple's Low-Cost MacBook to Start at $599, Report Says
Pricing is starting to come into focus for the cheaper MacBook that was first rumored earlier this summer. DigiTimes, citing "supply chain sources," reports Monday that this low-cost version will start at $699, or $599 with Apple's education discount. That's a significant price cut from the $999 MacBook Air ($899 with educational pricing), the current entry point to the MacBook line. What we know and don't know about the $599 MacBook Previous details remain unchanged as of this latest report: It will feature Apple's A18 Pro processor, the same chip powering the iPhone 16 Pro, and offer color options including pink, blue and yellow. The timing looks the same, too, with mass production to begin by the end of this year and shipments to start in early 2026. Previous reports called it a 13-inch MacBook, and today's news puts a finer point on the size of the display. It will feature a 12.9-inch screen, a bit smaller than the 13.6-inch MacBook Air. No other details have emerged about the display, but you can expect it will come with a lower resolution and lower brightness than the M4 MacBook Air's Liquid Retina display. With the smaller display, I'm curious to know how much this smaller, cheaper MacBook will weigh. The M4 Air weighs 2.7 pounds. Will the super-cheap MacBook weigh less than 2.5 pounds? Closer to 2 pounds even? And will it be added to the MacBook Air line or simply be called a MacBook? Memory and storage allotments remain a mystery. I'm hoping for 16GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive, but I'm guessing it'll offer only 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. After all, the baseline MacBook Air went from 8GB of RAM to 16GB only last year. I'd be happy with a compromise of 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. The A18 processor won't be able to match the performance of an M4 chip, but it does support Apple Intelligence, giving budget buyers access to Apple's nascent AI features that will hopefully improve during the lifespan of your next MacBook. Cheap MacBook or entry-level iPad? While a $599 MacBook will help Apple grab greater laptop market share, will it eat into its iPad sales? Consider that with Apple's educational pricing, the base iPad with an 11-inch display and A16 chip costs $329, but when you add the Magic Keyboard Folio for $229, you'll end up paying only $41 less than the $599 MacBook. Given that choice, I'm grabbing the MacBook.

iPhone 17, the ‘thinnest iPhone ever,' and everything else we're expecting out of Apple's hardware event
Apple usually announces its new hardware in the fall, and this year is likely no different. The event is reported to be on September 9, and Apple is expected to release its iPhone 17 lineup, along with updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods. As always, there are many rumors circulating, including bigger screens and improved cameras for the iPhone 17 models and the introduction of an ultra-thin iPhone Air that could replace the Plus model. iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max The iPhone 17 is expected to get a significant makeover to align more closely with the Pro models. It could feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen, which is an increase of 0.2 inch compared to the iPhone 16, as well as a 120Hz display, a substantial upgrade from the current 60Hz. It's also rumored to have a 24-megapixel front camera. It could also come in new colors: purple and green. iPhone 17: Purple and Green Colors in Testing as Potential New Shade for 2025 Full Article: — Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) June 20, 2025 The Pro's upgrades will be noticeable on the back of the phone, rumors suggest. Conceptual renderings show that the three rear cameras may be arranged in a rectangular bar that extends from one edge of the device to the other. The flash, light sensor, and microphone would be positioned far to the right side. Where the MagSafe charger is, the Apple logo is said to be centered for aesthetic reasons. Notably, the iPhone 17 Pro may switch materials, potentially replacing the titanium band around the screen with aluminum. This could help Apple reduce costs as well as provide a lighter feel. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to see fewer upgrades, too, with the most significant change being a slightly thicker body, likely to accommodate a larger battery — which would be a huge win. According to leaker Instant Digital, the iPhone 17 is predicted to be priced around $800, and the Pro model could cost around $1,050. The Pro Max is expected to have a price tag of $1,250.

San Francisco | REGISTER NOW iPhone Air Image Credits:Apple Track The most widely discussed rumor is that Apple might be introducing its slimmest phone ever, the iPhone Air, which may replace the iPhone Plus. This rumored device is said to have a profile thickness of 5.5 mm, making it about 0.08 inch thinner than current iPhones. It'll also feature a 6.6-inch screen. This move appears to be Apple's response to the trend of slimmer smartphones, following in the footsteps of other companies like Samsung and Huawei. The iPhone Air could potentially outshine the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which measures 5.8 mm thick. Additionally, it may pave the way for Apple's long-rumored foldable phone, predicted to launch in September 2026. While the thin design is stylish, it would come with some compromises. Based on the renders we've seen, the Air is expected to have only one rear camera lens, unlike the Plus, which has two. There are also rumors that there may not be enough space for a speaker at the bottom, meaning the only audio source could be the front earpiece at the top. Reports suggest the device will be priced at $950 and will be available in black, silver, and light gold. Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 Image Credits:Apple After a two-year wait, there are various rumors surrounding the Apple Watch Ultra 3, suggesting it will undergo significant changes. These may include faster charging speeds, 5G support, and satellite connectivity. Additionally, it's speculated that the watch will feature a larger display. One of the most exciting potential upgrades for both the Ultra 3 and Series 11 is the incorporation of blood pressure monitoring capabilities. This feature would notify users if their blood pressure levels are too high or too low. Apple is also considering adding a sleep apnea feature. However, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company may need to delay the release of these features for further tweaks. The third generation of Apple Watch SE isn't expected to receive major updates, aside from possibly a larger display. There continue to be reports of a plastic version being introduced, according to Gurman. Rumored prices for the watches are: $250 for the Apple Watch SE 3, $400 for the Series 11, and $800 for the Ultra 3. AirPods Pro 3 Image Credits:Apple After the release of the AirPods Pro 2 in 2022, it's about time for an upgrade, and Apple might just be ready to deliver. Rumors suggest that the AirPods Pro 3 will feature a sleeker design, touch-sensitive controls, smaller earbuds, and a slimmer case. Additionally, the H3 chip is expected to enhance active noise cancellation and adaptive audio.
