Comment: Apple's Spring Loaded Event – The Good the Bad... And Almost No Ugly

The 2022 MacBook Air could be the first Mac with an M2 processor - but according to various reports, the ultrabook is not only getting a new processor, but is being redesigned from the ground up. What we hear about the new generation so far.

Two Mac series are still waiting for the changeover from Intel to Apple processors. According to the latest rumors, the iMac will be ready in spring 2022, which leaves only the Mac Pro. We have compiled all recent reports about the Mac Pro 2022 in this article.

The first figures for the graphics performance of the M1 Max in Geekbench are available - and the chip scores of course much better than the M1 or the graphics cards of the Intel-based Apple notebooks in the "Metal Score".

Currently, only two desktop Macs rely on M-chips. The Mac mini and The 24" iMac. The 27" model still relies on Intel and is no longer an exciting alternative compared to the latest MacBook Pro. However, this could change soon.

Apple released the second generation of its Silicon Macs – along with some impressive specifications. Just now, the first Geekbench benchmark results are available – and they more than 100% confirm Apple's claims.

If anyone needed more proof that the MacBook Pro 16" with M1X is about to be released, the Apple Online Store has likely just provided it. The current status of the 96-watt charger for the MacBook Pro 16" in the online store is more than suspicious...

Potential buyers of a MacBook Pro M1X may only have to wait a few more weeks until more information is available about the upcoming device. In his newsletter, Apple leaker Mark Gurman recently confirmed that the product's market launch isn't far off.

The MacBook Pro 16" with M1X is definitely arriving this fall. However, fans of the larger iMac will have to wait a little longer. A well-known leaker recently revealed that the new iMac won't arrive until the fall of 2022 – and maybe not even until the summer.

The iMac with M1 has been on the market for two months – however, several customers are now reporting high-frequency annoying beeping. Mac users have been known to encounter such problems.

We're all expecting Apple to release a reworked M1X version of the MacBook Pro this fall, but what about the MacBook Air? Well, it looks as if the next MacBook Air will introduce the second series of M chips and Mini-LED, but not until next year.

Apple is currently in the middle of its transition from Intel to in-house chips. Many customers are intently anticipating the release of the new MacBook Pro models with Apple Silicon. According to Bloomberg, however, there are still a few months left to wait.

It could take up to four months until the Mac world has any official information about the upcoming MacBook Pro 14” and 16” models. In the meanwhile, a well-known YouTuber has joined in on the speculation with some additional information concerning the devices – and stresses that the information comes from reliable sources.

Mini LED has caused some issues for Apple and according to new reports, Cupertino is now reaching a hand deep into its pocket in order to prevent further delays. This is to say that Apple is now directly supporting the main manufacturer of the panels – for a start of sales this fall.

2020's WWDC occurred on the 22nd of June and announced not only the upcoming arrival of macOS Big Sur but also that Apple would be stepping away from their partnership with Intel in order to produce in-house ARM chips for Mac.

Those planning to buy a new MacBook Air or Pro should be aware of the fact that the price of AppleCare+ has just been reduced. However, those planning to purchase an Intel MacBook Pro won't be eligible for the same offer.

According to some feedback concerning the new iMac with Apple Silicon, there are factory defects to the stands of some computers. Thus far, the number of users affected by and the frequency of these issues are unknown. However, more and more complaints are coming in through the forums.

An analysis of a YouTube video posted by Apple from this week's WWDC event uncovered two noteworthy entries – both of which reference a next-generation "M1X MacBook Pro". Does this mean that Apple made a quick decision not to showcase the new MacBook Pro at Monday's event?

Several reports are circulating about the next generation of Mac mini, which is supposed to be launched this year. New design, much faster and more ports, these are probably the most important key data of the small compact Mac.

The Mac has often been pronounced dead over the past 15 years - or at least forum users criticized Apple loudly for alleged neglect. After many years of little or no growth, however, the division has now taken the biggest leap in product history.

The M1 had already an exciting announcement late last fall, but the possibly much more spectacular second chip generation could already be available this year. According to Nikkei, the "M2" will be produced starting in July - and will then be aimed at professional users and high-end Macs.

Only the small iMac got the M1 treatment, the 27" model is still available with Intel processors. This step reveals quite a bit about how the ARM transition will continue. After all, Apple could have very easily had an iMac 27" or 30" with an M1 chip - but this is exactly what Cupertino decided against.
