The 2024 iMac update brought seven different colors, and the current MacBook Air replaced its space gray variant with sky blue.", ["Setting aside the palette decisions, recent speculation suggests the new MacBook will retail for between $699 and $799. Apple plans to incorporate processors originally made for iPhones, such as the A18 Pro debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro Max, to reach this reduced cost. Expectations include trade-offs in performance features, connectivity options, or screen quality, but Gurman states the exterior won't suffer. The company intends to use an innovative production method for aluminum casings on the budget model, avoiding less expensive alternatives like plastic to save money.", ["The debut of this economical MacBook's official color lineup might arrive soon, with Gurman mentioning a reveal at a March gathering."]]}
