Apple's 2025 product blitz delivered seven announcements in three days, headlined by the $599 MacBook Neo — a $499-for-students A18 Pro laptop that essentially replaces the M1 MacBook Air with major trade-offs in battery, speakers, Force Touch trackpad, and just 8GB of memory. The M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros debut Apple's first chiplet design using TSMC SoIC die stacking, replacing efficiency cores with a new mid-tier performance core architecture while hiking prices $200–$400 across the board thanks to the ongoing DRAM memory crisis. Apple also refreshed the Studio Display and killed the Pro Display XDR in favor of a $3,300 27-inch Studio Display XDR with 2,000 mini-LED dimming zones, 120Hz, and nano-texture glass. The iPhone 17e finally adds MagSafe and 256GB base storage with Ceramic Shield 2, while the iPad Air remains the worst value in Apple's tablet lineup despite gaining 12GB of RAM — and the new MacBook Air M5 quietly rose to $1,099.
