Apple appears to have briefly revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook just days before its expected announcement, and the listing pointed to a new model called “MacBook Neo (Model A3404).”
The listing did not include images or detailed specifications, but reports point to a 12.9 inch display and an iPhone class chip such as the A18 Pro or A19 Pro instead of an M series processor. The device is also rumored to launch in bright colors like yellow, green, blue, and pink, which aligns with the playful “Neo” branding.
According to Apple’s regulatory website, a document for Model A3404 appeared with a link that referenced “MacBook Neo,” although the name did not appear inside the PDF itself.
