Report: Entry-level MacBook production imminent
Apple has been rumored to bring an entry-level MacBook priced at around $699, that's not part of the Air or Pro lineups and is powered by the Apple A18 Pro chip, which was previously used in the iPhone 16 Pro series. According to a new report from DigiTimes, components for the new affordable MacBook are cleared to begin production next month. This should signal full-scale manufacturing for the laptop before the end of the year and a possible release in early 2026. According to the report, Apple will aim to capture a larger chunk of the laptop market with its new entry-level MacBook. The device is expected to launch with an MSRP of $699 ($599 for students) and will be the first Apple laptop to utilize a mobile chipset that was previously used in the iPhone series. Apple is rumored to differentiate its new laptop by offering more dazzling color options. The upcoming affordable MacBook is expected to offer significant single-core benchmark gains over the M1-series MacBooks and offer similar multi-core performance. Source (paywall)

Get a free iPhone 16 Pro AND up to an extra $800 (!!!) with T-Mobile's 'best iPhone deal ever'
If you thought T-Mobile 's killer iPhone 16 Pro deal I told you about exactly a week ago would prove impossible to beat for at least a good chunk of time, just wait until you see what the "Un-carrier" offers its Apple-obsessed subscribers starting today. Yes, Magenta has somehow managed to outdo itself by not only "selling" one of the best phones available right now at the low, low price of $0, but making it incredibly easy to save an additional $800 (or more) as well. All you need is an existing number at Verizon, AT&T, Spectrum, Claro, Xfinity, Liberty, or US Cellular. $1000 off (100%) 5G, 128GB Storage, 6.3-Inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED Display with 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Titanium Frame, Ceramic Shield Glass, Apple A18 Pro Processor, 48 + 12 + 48MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, Multiple Color Options, New Experience Beyond Line Required, No Device Trade-In Needed, Up to $800 Additional Savings Available with Number Port-In Buy at T-Mobile That's right, this is a port-in promotion, but it doesn't require a device trade-in, which is definitely nice. Of course, the main condition you (still) have to meet to score a free iPhone 16 Pro is to activate the state-of-the-art handset on a (costly) new Experience Beyond plan, which will give you a grand total of $1,000 in savings split in monthly bill credits over a period of two years. In order to get an extra $800, you'll have to prove that you actually need that money to "break free" from your current mobile network operator (from the above list). Naturally, $800 is the maximum value available via a virtual prepaid Mastercard... for each line you want to switch to T-Mobile up to a total of four lines. So, yeah, at least in theory, you can get as much as $3,200 to pay off your outstanding debt, as well as $1,000 towards a new iPhone 16 Pro . All while also keeping your existing device. Although it probably needs no introduction or extended characterization anymore, I hope you'll allow me to direct your attention to our comprehensive iPhone 16 Pro review that perfectly describes the Apple A18 Pro-powered 6.3-incher as "boringly great." Is that a criticism? Kind of, but it's also a high form of praise that should make a lot of mobile power users in general and hardcore iPhone fans in particular consider a purchase... even with the (extended) iPhone 17 family (more or less) around the corner.
