Apple Is Reportedly Facing a 'Massive Dilemma' with the MacBook Neo (macrumors.com)

Apple may face supply constraints for the MacBook Neo as strong sales could exhaust stocks of “binned” A18 Pro chips with a 5-core GPU before a next-generation model is ready. Because TSMC’s N3E production is reportedly at maximum capacity, Apple might need to pay more to restart or reallocate chip production, potentially squeezing profit margins. The report also suggests Apple could limit specific lower-storage configurations or shift timing to newer A19 Pro chips, though those options may be costly.
