I doubt they'd consider that because it's a downgrade. If things get truly desperate, then maybe.

The Neo is a downgrade versus the current MacBook Air too. Which is ok since it is also dramatically cheaper.

I don't necessarily expect them to cut memory on the existing models, but I could well see a 4GB iPhone e/mini showing up to shore up the bottom of the lineup, as the pro models get price increases.

The iPhone 18 is already being downgraded: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/22/leaker-apple-downgrade-...
