In March 2026, Apple released the cheapest Mac ever made – and gave it the same A18 Pro silicon that powers the iPhone 16 Pro. This episode looks at why the $599 MacBook Neo is a bigger threat to the PC industry than anything Apple has shipped in years, what it means for the MacBook Air, and how a phone chip ended up running a real Mac. We compare it to the M1, look at the architecture differences, and dig into what changed inside Apple to make this possible.
