A ‘Cheap’ MacBook With an iPhone Chip Could Bring Battery Life Like We’ve Never Seen Before

There’s an Apple rumor going around that I can’t stop musing about. (No, it’s not about a foldable iPhone.) It’s for a low-cost 13-inch MacBook that could cost hundreds of dollars less than Apple’s current $999 13-inch M4 MacBook Air.
