Apple is Reportedly Facing a 'Massive Dilemma' With the MacBook Neo

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Tim Culpan reports the MacBook Neo is selling well.
Apple is using binned A18 Pro chips with 5‑core GPUs in the MacBook Neo instead of discarding them.
High Neo demand may exhaust the pool of binned A18 Pro chips before supply catches up.
Apple had planned to build around five to six million MacBook Neo units before ending the A18 Pro variant.
A18 Pro chips use TSMC's N3E 3nm process, whose lines are at capacity; restarting A18 Pro production could require a premium and may affect margins, and a Neo with A19 Pro could come next year.
