The news: Apple just updated a 3rd new Mac with Apple Silicon inside: this time, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 processor.
Our take: The best battery life ever in a Mac. Wow. Literally can’t describe how wild this jump is. Doesn’t feel possible or real.
The news: Apple just updated the MacBook Air for a second time this year with the new Apple-designed M1 processor.
The news: Apple has announced the first processor made for the Mac at their ‘one more thing’ event.
Our take: Wow. Seems Apple Silicon is shaping up to be everything we hoped and dreamed about
The roundup: Ahead of Apple’s November 10 event, here’s everything you should expect…and how likely all of it really is.
According to L0vetodream (88.7% accurate)
According to Mark Gurman (88.4% accurate)
Our take: I’m expecting 3 new MacBooks in total and AirTags. Event will likely be about an hour like the last couple!
The fun: Ahead of next week’s November 10 event, get in the mood with a batch of new wallpapers for iPhone and iPad.
Our take: I hope Apple includes stock blurred wallpapers on iOS in the future. There were a lot of hints that this was coming, but we still haven’t seen that leaked wallpaper settings redesign yet.
Update 11/9: Gurman has updated his initial report to say that only the 2 new 13-inch models are for sure coming at the event on Tuesday. The 16-inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon is on the way, but as production is further behind than the other models, it may not make the cut.
The rumor: Apple is planning 3 significant MacBook updates at their Apple Silicon event next week, according to Mark Gurman (88.3% accurate).
Our take: Wow! So the entire MacBook lineup is getting Apple Silicon next week. We had no idea until now that the 16-inch model would be getting it this early on.
The news: Apple has just announced a third Fall event on November 10, with the tagline ‘One more thing.’
Our take: So excited to see the first ARM Mac at this event. Apple seems to be ending 2020 with a bang, especially since they used the ‘One more thing’ tagline as the teaser phrase for the event.
The news: A number of popular Macs aren’t shipping until early December, according to data provided on apple.com.
Our take: Stock supply on Apple’s site isn’t always a guarantee that new products are on the way, but with rumors swirling of new Macs on the way…the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 21.5-inch iMac shortages align perfectly with the leaks. Earlier this year, stock for Apple Watch Series 5 was out of whack just ahead of the Series 6 unveil.
The news: While Apple rarely comments on future products and development, Tim Cook confirmed that there’s still more coming before the end of 2020.
Our take: I really like Apple’s new approach of giving us the slightest tidbits about what to expect from them in the future. This is confirmation…from the top…that new products are coming soon!
The rumor: Apple plans to hold a special event in March 2021, according to Jon Prosser (85.8% accurate).
Our take: Already talking about Apple events into 2021: wild. Apple historically releases something each year in March, so this makes sense to me. Plus, Prosser is pretty good with dates.
The rumor: Apple will unveil the first-ever Mac with Apple Silicon inside in mid-November, according to Jon Prosser (85.2% accurate).
Our take: Prosser, whose credibility increased significantly following Apple’s last event, was spot-on when leaking the date for Apple’s October 13 event. So we’re likely just over a month away from the first ever Mac made with Apple Silicon!
