At WWDC in June, Apple announced that it will be transitioning from Intel processors to its own custom Apple Silicon processors in Macs, promising industry-leading performance per watt. Rumors have suggested that the first Apple Silicon Macs could be lower-end notebooks like new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models.

Stay tuned to MacRumors for full coverage of the Apple Event. We've put together a guide on how to watch the event in time zones around the world.

Cue the usual complaints about why they take the store down every event. They do it because.....hype.

As for me: I am curious about what today will bring, but not in the market for anything. My '20 MBA and '19 MBP 16" do everything I want, and more.

I am also a nervous about first-gen apple products kind of apple fan.

I’d love to see any given updated product page on Apple.com to require less than 5 screen scrolls instead of the current 10+... By the time I finally get to the bottom I’ve forgotten where to find anything specific I’d seen above and would like to see again without another waterfall of finger scrolling. I don’t shop for Apple products hoping for an origami ballet of animations and sweeps when scrolling down the page.

Not everything Apple offers has to be retouched to the nth degree for sake of maintaining Apple’s design genius halo. The typical Apple product page today is the automotive equivalent of this modified Corvette C4. Sometimes it’s good to just put the pencil down.

Again, this is nuts...IF they do not have something to order or pre-order....like they did with the first and second events..
Why shut down the store when you just add new pages for the new products that will be available to pre-order a week from now for example and then again, stores down
Click to expand...

Not everything is about efficiency, not even at Apple. Sometimes companies keep some of their traditions. In this case I think it's a mix to prevent orders of other items, hype, and tradition.
