In the year 2020, Apple began transitioning away from Intel chips in favor of Apple Silicon, and the process started with the MacBook and Mac Mini powered by the Apple M1 chips which have now been expanded to more devices and more chips.
When Apple had announced its move of transitioning to Apple Silicon, it had talked about completing the process within two years. In line with that, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg expects that the company could complete the process by WWDC 2022 in June.
This was reported in the latest edition of the Power On newsletter in which Mark Gurman further adds that the new Mac Pro, a powerful Mac Mini, and a large-screened iMac Pro will come powered by the new Apple Silicon chips.
If this turns out to be true, then it means that there could be multiple Apple Mac devices getting launched in the first half of this year.
After launching MacBook Air and Pro models as well as Mac Mini and iMac powered by the M1 chipset, the company recently launched the MacBook Pro in 14-inch and 16-inch versions, both of which are powered by the new Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.
The company is expected to launch the M2 chipset as the direct successor of the M1 chip but if the reports are to be believed, then there won’t be any drastic improvement in terms of performance for the new SoC.
The report further adds that the MacBook Air lineup as well as the entry-level MacBook Pro, which were the first devices to get M1 chipset, will be updated this year. The MacBook Air is claimed to come with the biggest redesign in the product’s history.
