Apple is nuking Intel chips in Macs out of orbit, and the chipmaker is obviously unhappy about it. But according to Intel's optimistic CEO, the company will try to win back Apple's business.
One of the things Apple executives have been pretty consistent about, even as macOS and iOS blur some lines with each new iteration, is the idea that the company is not trying to merge the two platforms. Meaning, a Mac is going to remain a Mac, and the iPad will continue to be whatever iPadOS defines it as. Of course, that could very well change down the road, but, for now, it appears Apple doesn't have any plans to change that.
As expected, one fall event was not enough for Apple, it turns out. There have been rumors swirling around for quite some time that Apple planned on hosting another sometime in October, and it turns out they were true. And sure enough, the event invites have gone out.
There is a lot of power in an M1-equipped Mac, whether that's the newest 24-inch iMac, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, or even the MacBook Air. However, there are some limitations, too. Natively, an M1 MacBook is unable to output to a pair of external monitors at the same time. But Hyper is here with a fix.

Apple is still in the process of transitioning away from Intel-branded processors for products like the iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. Ever since Apple kicked off that effort, Intel has been going out of its way to show off the "power of PC," because obviously that's where Intel's future lies. And now the company's back at it.
When will Apple release the next MacBook Air notebook, powered by its next-generation silicon? If you ask a reliable analyst, the notebook is approximately a year away from today.
Apple is not a stranger to any sort of legal action against it. And that, unfortunately, includes class-action lawsuits brought against it by its own customers. That usually happens when it comes to some kind of perceived issues with Apple's business practices and/or hardware issues with its devices. Which is the case this time around as well.
Legal sharks are circling around Apple, investigating reports of unexpected M1 MacBook screen cracks which many affected customers claim occur during normal usage.
Apple is predicted to release the new 14-inch and 16-inch M2 MacBook Pro notebooks powered by its own silicon in October or November of 2021, as per supply chain chatter.
Apple's lineup of refurbished products is healthy, and it's a solid way to pick up a new-to-you device without forking over the full retail price. Of course, the hard part is waiting for the refurbished product to actually launch in Apple's refurbished digital storefront. For folks out there waiting for the Mac mini with M1 processor and 10GB ethernet port, the wait is over.
When high-end MacBook Pros get their Apple silicon treatment, don't expect any major observable speed difference between 14-inch and 16-inch sizes due to the same M1X chip.
