Apple is reportedly in talks with suppliers to address a major dilemma posed by the MacBook Neo’s sales boost.
Apple used leftover A18 chips for the MacBook Neo, making production costs unusually low.
KEY POINTS
- The unexpected sales success of the Neo is rapidly depleting the supply of these leftover chips.
- Apple originally planned to produce only five to six million Neo units before discontinuing the model.
- Suppliers are uncertain if Apple will extend Neo production or switch to leftover A19 chips next year.
- Ordering new A18 chips from TSMC would significantly reduce Apple's profit margins on the Neo.
