The rumor about Apple trying to eat the Chromebook market feels like a really great next step toward the future I think we all know is coming: a descendent of iPadOS running on MacBook-shaped hardware, eventually to replace macOS altogether.According to a report from Digitimes citing industry sources, Apple is working on a new low-cost MacBook series aimed at the education sector and primarily targets Chromebooks as its rivals. This laptop will be launched as a separate lineup from the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro.I've been saying for years that, when they decide to do it, all Apple will actually need to do to pull this off is make Xcode only run on this new OS. Developers will grumble for a few days, but if they were going to actually stop developing for Apple's platforms, they would have done it years ago 🤷
