A Full Apple Ecosystem Now Costs Less Than a MacBook Pro

Apple’s cheapest current devices together cost $2,510, which is $189 less than the $2,699 starting price of a 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro.

The new MacBook Neo is a major reason the entry-level lineup looks stronger and more affordable than before.

Apple’s low-end products now offer better capabilities across the board, though the base iPad is still the only current device without Apple Intelligence.

The iPad, Apple TV, and HomePod mini are also viewed as likely candidates for upcoming refreshes.
