Base MacBook Neo to be discontinued?

A couple of days back, reports of the base variant of the MacBook Neo being discontinued had surfaced. A report in Culpium had said that Apple might discontinue the base 256GB storage variant of the MacBook Neo and the reason could be the rising DRAM prices. 

However till now, this is just a rumour and Apple hasn’t said anything of the sort. So, it is best to wait for an official confirmation.
