Apple silicon is featured on the MacBook Pro, the first Mac in a series of Macs that feature Apple's new ARM-based chip. This feat of engineering merits praise. Although this laptop took a long time to make, it is now sleek, powerful, and very energy efficient. The new model offers a 6K output and a spatial sound system. A USB4 port is also available. An adapter is also included.
Apple is constantly working on new products. This is no secret. The company has introduced new iPhones as well as iPads, while also steadily improving its Mac range. The Macintosh's 2013 line includes a new 13-inch model with a faster processor, better memory options and an image signal processor. It also has a six-watt adapter that's sixfold more powerful than the last model. And with a battery life of nearly six hours, it's a worthy successor to the last generation.
Apple is apparently also developing a Mac mini, a much more expensive model. It's likely to be available in the near future. Further, the company has been working to develop its own silicon chips and it is likely that they will use them in the next generation MacBook Pro.
Apple M2, a cutting -edge 5nm TSMC processing, is another new product. This process will make it into a number Macs. While it is not a groundbreaking chip, there are several interesting features. These include 20 billion transistors (50 percent more memory bandwidth) and a six percent decrease of power consumption. These are huge wins for Apple, who has been criticised for not innovating its consumer electronics product lines.
In 2022, Apple is expected to release a redesigned MacBook Pro and Mac Air with MagSafe Support. Apple could be a leading player in personal computing if they can reach these targets. That is, if it can keep up with the competition. A lot depends on the consumer's interest in tech.
In the meantime, we will have to settle with more modestly priced models like the new MacBook Air or the latest version of MacBook Pro. Apple has not announced any major product updates since October, but they did report a successful December quarter. Specifically, Mac unit sales grew by 6.2%. Given that Apple accounted for the largest percentage of the smartphone market, it is only natural to assume that they are also making big bucks. This year will see more of these machines thanks to the new model as well as a rumored refresh.
So what's the tech craze? Apple's latest products aside, we've also seen the release of a few cool new apps such as Apple News and Watch. Apple has been busy working on impressive new features like iOS 12 and the sleek, new iOS-powered Apple CarPlay.
