Apple Announces November 10 Event, Apple Silicon Macs Expected to Debut

[sdiori]

I really, really need a new MBP, so consider my interest piqued.

As an aside, I’m still disappointed Apple conceded the router market. I’d love to have a throughly updated Time Capsule...though I know that cuts into their cloud storage revenue so it’ll likely never happen. Sigh.

Why can't Apple place the A14T or A14X in a iPhone Pro?

Because people would want more than 2 hours of battery life.

Reliable leakers on Twitter are saying there will be 2 x 13" notebooks. Digging a little further, it looks like exactly the same chassis as current 13" MBA & 13" MBP, just with Apple silicon with a proper redesign not coming until well into next year.

Guess we won't have long to find out.

I agree, though I'm holding a 2% chance of a surprise 14" MBP!

Personally, I'm buying a new laptop to replace my 2014 MBA after this event. Whether or not it will be an Intel or ARM based MBP is the question. 14" would simply lock that purchase choice without hesitation.

 

[Venderious]

Really want the MacBooks to be redesigned

Wish it would take on a Friday, can't have too many beers during this (Tuesday)event. 🍺

Looking forward to this event, but most likely will be underwhelming as last 2 have been.

Want/need a new Mini, but doubt it will be one of the first commercially available (There's already the Dev. one), more likely one of the last ones to get AS.

Based on phone design, the Apple design team can accommodate a larger battery. Again they chose not to...

Why would you need that much power in a phone? The A14 already blows anything in an Android phone out of the water. Also, you conveniently ignored the heat part - the large aluminum enclosure of iPads and Macs can be used as a heat sink. Phones are smaller and are mostly made of glass, so the chip would have to throttle to prevent overheating so you end up not benefiting from the extra performance anyway.

These new Macs will simply be rebadged Intel Macs with an ARM chip dropped in there that was destined for an iPhone. This is where Apple is taking us to running Macs with chips for telephones.

 

[TechRunner]

My interpretation of the leak:

13 X 2 = 26

12 + 14 = 26

12-inch AS MacBook and 14-inch AS MBP

That's math I can totally support!

 

[cwwilson]

Cannot wait to get one of these new Macs. I haven’t purchased a brand new Mac since 2015 so I’m certainly ready for one.

Hopefully this brings tons of new software to the platform and possibly a merging of iOS and MacOS app stores. With super fast flash storage/memory and potentially new leaps in graphics capabilities and power efficiency these new computers should be amazing all around.

 

[kybldmstr]

I'm hoping for 14-inch Macbook Pro!

 

[AnthonyHarris]

I have the exact same question for use with Adobe CC.

Apple said at the WWDC announcement that they were working with Adobe to bring the creative cloud apps to the new Apple silicon Macs. When is anyone’s guess, however, with Rosetta, I imagine the current x86 versions should run.

 

[carrrrrlos]

One more things.

 

[The Game 161]

Still no 14 inch pro?

 

[Anijake]

Best thing to happen in 2020?

That would be the McRib coming back in December.

 

[Lucifer666]

Keep the train a rollin.

 

[mannyvel]

Too bad it wasn't titled "some more things," which would be amusing.

 

[IG88]

The enigma twitterer L0vetodream says 13inch x2 so we can expect an Air and a Pro?

I'd say yes.

 

[iphonehype]

14" MBP please. My wallet is ready!

If this happens, I will be very upset. Bought 13inch when they came out in summer this year. Not sure what the resale value will be. Hmm

 

[iDan75]

I’m not gonna lie. I saw this...

But I thought this...

Come on Apple, bring back the colours! 😂

 

[rmoliv]

I want this so bad!

 

[souko]

So 2 x 13 “. Does it mean MacBook Pro 13” 2 or 4 port model?

 

[richinaus]

Looking forward to this event.
As always an early adopter and very interested to see how all this pans out.

I do believe AS is the start of the real consumer domination / iPhone iPad and Mac.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Performance generally isn't the same between the Air and Pro iPads. Right now we're in a weird time because the Air has a newer chip than the Pro, but generally the Pro has the X/Z version of whatever chip the Air has, with more cores.. so better performance namely in the graphics department. Although, the Pro version of the iPhone does have the same processor as the normal version..

I am so intrigued and excited to see how they structure their post-Intel lineup of computers. And it all kicks off in 8 days! Woo 🥳

For NOW yes, but across all iPhones in a given year (and even among iPad Pro’s and iPad Air’s , as individual groups) of THIS year,) performance is very similar. You don’t choose the “speed” of your phone or iPad, you just choose how many cameras you want and what size, color, etc. Apple could potentially eliminate the performance/feature gradient we’ve gotten accustomed to primarily because Intel needs the i9 to be able to do things the i3 can’t.

 

[CodeSpyder]

Maybe there will be a 'One More Thing' announcement.

 

[firewood]

Why can't Apple place the A14T or A14X in a iPhone Pro?

Thermals. The extra power these SOCs use would burn people’s hands without the extra surface area of a larger case to spread out the heat and dissipate it safely.
