Apple is working on their most affordable laptop yet: MacBook Lite
Apple is working on the MacBook Lite, its most affordable laptop, to compete with Chromebooks. The leaks show that it will have a minimum of 64GB eMMC storage (upgradable to 512GB) with no SSD Option and 4GB RAM (max 12GB).
The base price is not confirmed, but it could be around $599. However, the main drawback is that macOS wonβt be pre-installed, and users must purchase a separate $200 license. Apps would not be pre-installed and can be chosen during setup.
There will probably be no TouchID, but this isn't confirmed yet. MacBook Lite is targeted for students and budget buyers.

France fines Apple β¬150M for βexcessiveβ pop-ups that let users reject tracking
France has imposed a β¬150 million fine on Apple because its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework requires third-party publishers to get "double consent" for tracking, while Apple's own data collection only needs one pop-up.
This asymmetry is seen as making third-party app use overly complex and harming small publishers who rely on advertising revenue. This fine doesn't mandate immediate changes, leaving room for future adjustments. Also, investigations into ATT are ongoing in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Romania.
