So, you love\u00a0Apple\u00a0products but you also love still having money in your bank account \u2014 what’s a shopper to do?<\/p>\n
Why, buy one of Apple’s rumored less-expensive\u00a0MacBook Airs\u00a0allegedly dropping later this year, of course.<\/p>\n
Predicting what’s going on inside the minds at 1 Apple Park Way is a notoriously tricky proposition, but analyst\u00a0Ming-Chi Kuo\u00a0of KGI Securities has a track record of being pretty damn good at it. His latest investor note,\u00a0according to 9to5Mac, suggests the tech behemoth plans to release a MacBook Air \u201cwith a lower price tag\u201d sometime in the second quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n
At present, a\u00a013-inch MacBook Air\u00a0sells for $999 or $1,199 \u2014 depending on the specifications. While merely the expectation of a lower price tag doesn’t give us a lot to go on, it does suggest that Apple sees a way to get its wildly popular laptop into even more hands: Make it cheaper.<\/p>\n
Which, yeah, brilliant.<\/p>\n
Kuo has some other thoughts about what may be coming down the Apple-shaped pike, too. Specifically, he notes that we should look for an updated AirPod later this year.<\/p>\n
Oh, and he also drops a little nugget of possible truth about the\u00a0HomePod. Namely, that demand for it is merely “mediocre.” Maybe if they released a cheaper version? Hey, I’m just spitballing here.<\/p>\n
So there you have it. Apple, Silicon Valley’s embodiment of innovation, might be changing the game all over again with the revolutionary idea of making its products more affordable. If Kuo is right, your wallet will thank you.<\/p>\n
