Would there really be demand for this?
a source at one of Apple's component suppliers in Taiwan has said that Apple is considering a new 12-inch MacBook. The suggestion is that although no definite decision has been taken, production activities are underway. It's said that Apple will decide whether the device will progress to mass production in the second half of the year.
Bringing it back now would make sense at least in terms of naming conventions. We currently have a MacBook Air and three sizes of MacBook Pro, but no vanilla MacBook. That differs from the iPad, in which we have a standard model as well as the more expensive Air and Pros. Differentiating between the two cheapest MacBooks – last year's M2-chipped MacBook Pro 13 and MacBook Air – is already difficult enough, with their specs and price so close to each other. Then there's the size. Twelve inches is small for a laptop, and while that can be handy for travel, judging by comments from Apple fans in recent years, people are more keen on the idea of an iPad Pro with a laptop operating system then they are a smaller laptop.
