M1 MacBook Air Sells Out at Walmart as Apple Teases Budget MacBook Revival
Walmart’s stock of the M1 MacBook Air in the U.S. is out, even as rumors mount that Apple will launch a new, cheaper MacBook below the Air. The upcoming model is rumored to use an iPhone 16 Pro-era A18 Pro chip and target a budget segment, with specs likely including 8GB RAM and USB-C (no Thunderbolt). Apple had discontinued the M1 Air in 2024 in favor of newer M-series models, but past pricing shows $549–$699 ranges before stockouts. The move signals a potential revival of the MacBook line and a March reveal window, according to leakers and reports.
