Apple expands MacBook Neo production to 10 million units

Apple expands MacBook Neo production to 10 million units with two five-million-unit runs. The second run uses new A18 Pro chips from pristine silicon, not binned iPhone scraps. The laptop follows an annual 12-month upgrade cycle synced to iPhone Pro silicon releases. Apple prioritizes market penetration over margin in the Neo's early rollout. The hardware transition mirrors iPhone lifecycle timing for sustained user engagement.
