I don't think they do iPhone announcements at WWDC. Probably another smaller event or announcement next month.
Damn, currently own a 16inch MacBook Pro. Does it mean I need to get a new one in 2 years.....
Need to? No.
I'd expect a usual OS support lifetime.
Plus it'll continue to run it's current OS for quite a while.
Was waiting at the end when they were talking about iPad apps on Mac to finally announce pro apps on iPad. If they’ve built Xcode etc. for ARM Macs, why no iPad release?
Uh, Tim Cook literally said that (Intel being supported for years to come), so it's not a dream, it's a reality. Just because their new hardware will be transitioning to ARM doesn't mean they stop supporting the hardware that uses Intel. In fact, he even said they have new Intel Macs in the works.
Probably on larger desktop it have more beast capabilities, and need some active cooling on it. But I think for mobile one it should possible fan-less, if taking cue from current iPad Pro.
Godspeed on your journey with heartfelt thoughts and prayers!
If Intel macOS updates were only for 2 years, he would have said that. "Years to come" implies a longer period of time, clearly.
I expect MacBook Air to be fanless still and MacBook Pros to be air cooled just like they are. The big difference will probably be that the fan only needs to kick in when doing heavy lifting otherwise it's off most of the time (browsing web, checking email, etc).
The definition of years is more than one.
Tim said the transition is expected to take 2 years.
I'm excited about the Apple Silicon transition. I'm still absolutely terrified by it, though.
- Is it going to support Windows?
- Will Bootcamp still exist?
- Will the new Macs have the AMD (or possibly NVIDIA) GPUs on top of Apple's built-in GPUs?
- How good is the emulation? I'm pretty sure there will be hits in performance.
- (Yes yes, I understand that gaming on the Mac is a joke, but I still do it and it works fine for me) How will gaming on Windows in a VM (or Bootcamp, assuming that AMD GPUs will still be supplied in the Apple SoC Macs) work?
These are the questions that have been keeping me up at night for the past little while. I'd rather not be in a position where I'm carrying both a Mac and a Surface Book in my bag at the same time.

Or it implies a shorter period and Tim doesn't want to say it for Osborne reasons.
All in all a good event. They didn’t mention device compatibility though and nothing for the HomePod.

Dreams can come true it seems.
Apple's certainly had internal ARM builds of MacOS for their own silicon ever since they started designing their own silicon, I wouldn't be surprised if they also maintained ARM branches of their first party apps too, it may have been pretty much all ready to go when they made the decision to switch from Intel
Absolutely flawless presentation in terms of slickness and quality.
When Apple do something they really do it better than others.

Not sure what "Osborne reasons" are, but I stand by what I said. If he didn't want to say, he could have just said nothing and not deceive people by clearly implying a longer period of time.
Oh my goodness. Just never mind....
