Apple shipped 1.1 million MacBook Neo units in the first quarter of the year, according to IDC, making it one of the strongest Mac debut performances in recent memory (via TechCrunch).

Shipments began spiking from early April, suggesting the March tally understates underlying demand.
Their mobile chips are actually quite powerful, they might not be gaming beasts, but for simple laptop work they’d be very capable.
Apple could make a desktop OS for their phones that triggers when you connect it to a monitor with a USB C to HDMI cable like on Android, but if they did it well, itd just eat into laptop sales vs sell more phones.
But they could sell some more dongles/peripherals that way and possibly make bank.
Travelling? Don’t bring the laptop, just bring a small portable monitor and your phone.
Edit: they could even make a laptop shell you slide your phone into so you can get the whole laptop experience without paying for all the hardware in the phone a 2nd time.
