@wtfwtf_ok Yes, but A19Pro (chipset) production will drop drastically once the iPhone 18 with the A20Pro generation comes out, then disappear a couple of years later. As this is the fastest-selling Mac launch ever, they'll run through the stockpile. (I agree it will be available until Christmas: but most likely some time after iPhone 18 is announced they'll announce a spec-bumped Neo and phase out the cheapest model.)

@cstross we have no idea if they’re still making A18 pro chips. They could be rolling off the line still today. Apple can take ones with all-working cores and disable one and put it in the Neo. They may also be using the chips for iPads or Apple TVs or who knows what else.
