Apple is reportedly using defective A18 Pro chips with faulty GPU cores in its new budget MacBook Neo laptop, a practice called "binning" where chips with minor flaws are repurposed for lower-tier products rather than discarded. Experts say this common manufacturing practice reduces waste and costs while remaining functional to consumers through error-correction software and workarounds that isolate defects.
