iPhone 11 phones have A13 CPUs, not A12. This one appears to be derived from the A12 chip used in the iPhone XS/XR phones, and the prior-generation iPad Pro (just going off of the name).
Nothing here says that they're getting rid of the MacBook lineup. Those are still quite popular, and if you need a desktop computing experience for productivity, there's no reason to pick an iPad over a MacBook. You even need a Mac to make iPad apps. They've been making the iPad better but there are still tons of things that would be really painful to do if that was the only computer you had.
