The claim
Apple has asked suppliers to build 16 million MacBook Neo laptops in 2027, about twice the volume expected for 2026.
Why we rated it Rumor
From DigiTimes' supply chain sources, reported by MacRumors. DigiTimes is often right on direction but less reliable on exact numbers. It fits Bloomberg's September report of a second-generation Neo with an A19 Pro and 12GB of RAM in 2027 and Apple's record fiscal 2026 Mac sales, but Apple does not publish per-model numbers, so this is hard to verify.
