Report: Apple kicks off new run of A18 Pro chips as MacBook Neo demand exceeds expectations

Without a doubt, the MacBook Neo is a smash hit. Apple talked about the success of the new laptop on its most recent earnings call, warning that supply constraints will continue into the current quarter.

Analyst Tim Culpan today reports that Apple now plans to make about 10 million MacBook Neos in total, about twice as many as it initially ordered. This will entail its chip supplier TSMC manufacturing a new run of A18 Pro chips to power the machines, which Apple will inevitably have to foot the bill for.
