Apple is said to be working on a low-cost MacBook with an iPhone system-on-chip.

First analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple was planning to produce a MacBook that would use an iPhone's A18 Pro processor to reduce costs. Then it was learned that references to such a device had already existed in the code for macOS Sequoia, released in 2024.
