Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, November 24th, 2025.

I'm your host, Chance Miller.

We are sponsored this week by Robo Rock.

Leading off today in a new investor note by analyst Jeff Poo, he has details on Apple's timeline for new product launches over the next year.

Pooh says that Apple will kick off 2026 with a launch of three new low-cost products,

the iPhone 17E, a low-cost MacBook, and an updated base model iPad.

These devices will all launch sometime in mid-Q1 of 2026.

The low-cost MacBook is probably the most interesting part of this rumor.

The product has been in the works for years, previously reported on by sources, including Ming Chi Quo, Digitimes, and Bloomberg.

The cheaper MacBook will reportedly be powered by the A18 Pro chip, the same processor that powered the iPhone 16 Pro.

We still don't know many details about the design of the product, but Quo has said potential casing colors include silver, blue, pink, and yellow.

Bloomberg reports that it will cost well under $1,000 and use less advanced components than the rest of Apple's Mac lineup.

It will also reportedly have a display smaller than the MacBook Air's 13.6 inch screen.

The refreshed entry-level iPad will just be a spec bump with faster performance.

The iPhone 17E will feature an A-19 chip up from the current A-18 chip and will reportedly

have an 18-mepixel center stage selfie camera up from the current 12-mepixel lens.

Again, all three of these products are expected to launch sometime in the middle of the

first quarter of 2026, so likely sometime in February or maybe early

March. Next up today, recently the Financial Times reported that efforts to set up a succession

plan for Apple CEO Tim Cook have intensified and that the transition could happen as early as

next year, potentially sometime in the spring.

But this weekend, Bloomberg's Mark German reports that this story is likely to be, quote, simply false, and that the moment for Cook to step down is not at hand.
