Budget MacBook Leaks Flag Eight Key Cutbacks Ahead of Launch

A leaker claims Apple’s forthcoming lower-cost MacBook will compromise eight areas to hit a cheaper price: lower maximum brightness (below the Air’s 500 nits), no True Tone, storage limited to 256GB/512GB (128GB for schools), slower SSD speeds, no fast charging, no backlit keyboard, no high-impedance headphone support, and no N1 Wi‑Fi/BT/Thread chip (likely using a MediaTek chip instead). Supposedly powered by the iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip with 8GB RAM, a 12.9-inch display, and USB‑C only, with color options and a price range around $599–$799. An official announcement is expected via a press release rather than a live event, and the leaker’s track record is unproven, so treat the claims with skepticism."
