Apple Might Have Prematurely Leaked the Name ‘MacBook Neo’

macrumors.com/2026/03/03/apple-accidentally-leaks-macbook-neo/

Joe Rossignol, MacRumors:

A regulatory document for a “MacBook Neo” (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple’s website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet.

My money was on just plain “MacBook”, but I like “MacBook Neo”.
