... I been waiting for quite a long time now to change my old iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) which is exactly 8 years old now. I been saving and ready to have new and updated iMac 
🖥️ hardware, so I hope this is it... 🤞💰 💶SHUT UP APPLE AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I really really hope they have it right an everyone else has it wrong. I'm a power user, and have never bought the 12-13" model. Let's see a 16" or 15" at the start please.Apple and overseas suppliers are ramping up production of three new Mac laptops with Apple processors: new 13-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and a new 13-inch MacBook Air, according to people familiar with the matter. Beyond the processor switch, the devices won’t have significant design changes.
Apple to Launch MacBooks With Own Chips Next Week
Apple Inc.’s 15-year relationship with Intel Corp. will officially begin to unwind next week when new Mac computers are revealed.www.bloomberg.com
I'm pretty sure this will prove to be incorrect. I don't think Apple has an iGPU that's appropriate.
I may have to ignore MacRumors until the event next Tuesday. 🥺 I‘d like some Apple Silicon surprises.
Tim has no faith in the product like Steve. Everything will be leaked in advance to market test response.
So far, that hasn't been the case at all, but yeah, Apple is garbage without it's "one great man".
I hoping they release an AS mini sometime next year. My late 2012 is still going strong and does everything I need it to do but Catalina is the end of the line for OS updates. I've already set aside the money for a new machine and since they already have AS mini for developers I'm hoping it will be one of the early machines to get updated.
‘One more thing’ has been replaced with ‘Apple Event’
Maybe there will be more than just one more thing and the title was misleading??

Better remote, step up the processor for better gaming would be welcomed.
yeah, this is the apple device I need right now, and it’s now over 3 years.
although honestly I’m getting vaguely skittish because I’ve gotten Amy apple account locked for no discernible reason twice in 5 days. (Which I guess must mean someone is trying to guess my password 😕)
I could 100% see them releasing Airs in different colors in the vein of the original iMac.
Yeah, it seems like it won't be a huge porting issue for Photoshop/Illustrator etc... except for After Effects...that's a big program and makes extensive use of video card specifics I believe. How will that run on silicon macs? Now, for me AE is the program I use least nowadays but I'm not sure I want to be in the world of all Apple silicon for 3 years anyway.
If there isn't a BIG difference in the key issues, why would Apple make this move? A little more battery life is worth it? Not being quite as fast? Using the same industrial design? It seems like those results wouldn't make the effort worthwhile at all...
As I say, they want to showcase what AS can do but at this stage, it will only be on laptops, that is where they have the most to prove after years of overheating and thermal throttling. The battery life should be better, performance more consistent. All the good news stories related to AS are how much better it will make their laptops. That is the only story they are going to tell next week.
Even the reliable leakers are consistent in that they only expect a 13" MBP to be the first available device. Not even a redesigned one, just a current MBP with an AS chip.
Apple doesn't get to design Intel chips, Apple has full control over their own Chips.
Thermal concerns, Apples chips are likely to run much much cooler than anything than AMD or Intel can offer in the foreseeable future.
Thermal means at the very least competitive with AMD and Intel performance wise.
Price, it will be much cheaper for them them to design and manufacture their own chips.
Supply chain, they effectively cut out a third party in Intel that are being soundly trounced by most other chip manufacturers currently. Not having to rely on other companies R&D and production as much, is huge.
IMO there will be a difference in the key issues, not anything drastic, but I think Apple will attempt to distance their line up with performance increases in multiple areas. How well they do is up for debate until it happens, but there's no reason to think they can't. Thermals are the #1 reason for performance issues at this point and have been for a long time, it's why the Centrino chip that became the i9 eventually trounced the G5 back in the day.
Sure, but none of that says, only a single laptop, and only a laptop. Here's my guess. Macbook Pro and Air, along with a Mac Mini or possibly an iMac. I agree that Mac Pros and iMac Pros are not coming until next year, simply because that's a bigger jump power wise. But I see no reason to only release one laptop with AS, and no reason not to start with something with good numbers. My guess is a 13" MBP that clocks in around the speed of a octocore 2.4ghz i9, probably slightly under it if they do not come out with a 15-16" MBP, in order to not trounce their own sales, and give an even more impressive boost to the AS 15-16" when it comes out.
Personally I hope I'm wrong and they release a 15" that trounces the current 16" i9 badly along with the other laptops.
