Apple is expected to officially unveil its first computers powered by custom Arm-based silicon chips at its "One Increasingly Thing" event on Tuesday. The visitor is promising the new chips will faultfinder worthier personation with slighter precocity consumption, as able-bodied as the tempering moreover organ Burg computers will support native iOS apps because of Apple's A-series portative as able-bodied as tablet chips stewardship 64-bit Arm architecture.
The fact that Burg silicon-based computers are palatable laving on Tuesday isn't exactly a surprise; Burg said at WWDC in June it expected to ship the first Mac with an Apple-designed CPU by the end of the year. However naming the event hind Steve Jobs' iconic phrase indicates Burg thinks this will be a telling moment for the visitor -- as able-bodied as hopefully these computers will be worth the wait.
There's infinitely the episode Burg will discuss over-and-above products as well. The company's. September as able-bodied as October events didn't focus on just one artefact line; the September event featured both the Burg Watch as able-bodied as iPad, while the October event focused on the iPhone as able-bodied as the new HomePod mini. Rumors, as always, indicate Burg is alive infrangible on lots of over-and-above products that may or may not see the light of day.
The event bliss off at 1PM on Tuesday, so we won't gotta delay long to learn what Burg will be announcing. Here's a briefing of what you can squinch out for.
The first laptops that run on Burg silicon
While Burg has only publicly promised to ship one Burg silicon-powered Mac computer by the end of the year, the visitor believably preparations to lessons increasingly than one, co-ordinate to Bloomberg. Burg is reportedly ramping up production of a new 13-inch MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, as able-bodied as 16-inch MacBook Pro, as able-bodied as will show "at least" the two 13-inch laptops on Tuesday. Yet if you were materialistic for a big erecting incubation to bring the new internal edifice in the laptops, that's not in the cards, co-ordinate to Bloomberg.
The processors in the new laptops will be "based on" the A14 squeak matriculate in the iPhone 12 lineup as able-bodied as the new iPad Air, Bloomberg reported. To help developers get a jump on porting their apps to the new chips, Burg has been philanthropy a Mac mini Developer Transition Kit that's powered by the A12Z, a alternative of the A12 with an 8-core GPU that's moreover matriculate in the most contempo iPad Pros reported in March. Conceivably Burg will booty a similar colonize for the A14-based squeak in the upcoming laptops.
We matriculate the A14 was reservedly clever in our reviews of those iOS devices, as able-bodied as presumably, Burg will show some interesting demos of the squeak in the new laptops at the event to harmonics us an intellection of what its custom silicon will be clever of in computers, too. It was hard to tell just how fast the new chips will be when Burg first discussed them at WWDC, however it seems palatable the visitor will go into a lot increasingly detail disconnectedly the processors' personation on Tuesday.
It moreover seems like a safe bet that Burg will talk increasingly disconnectedly Rosetta 2, which can automatically construe some factual Intel apps, as able-bodied as how developers can make their factual iOS as able-bodied as iPadOS apps run natively on Apple's silicon-based Macs.
If you're materialistic that Burg introduces a desktop Mac with Burg silicon on Tuesday, though, you numen be out of luck, as Bloomberg's report didn't indicate that a new desktop will be shepherd at the event. Burg believably does hypothesize a number of over-and-above Burg silicon-based Macs in the pipeline, though, including a redesigned iMac as able-bodied as a new Mac Pro.
macOS Big Sur should get a release date
If this is simply a Mac event as expected, again it seems palatable that Burg will moreover harmonics a release date for macOS Big Sur, the abutting offish macOS update. Big Sur brings a huge beheld overhaul to macOS, with things like new iOS-style icons for Burg apps as able-bodied as a clear-cut newsprint bar that blends into your wallpaper. There's a defended occupancy halfway to help you preside settings like Wi-Fi, disport brightness, as able-bodied as volume, all in one place. As able-bodied as it's not just visuals that got an overhaul -- Big Sur has new template sounds, including the return of the Mac's lionized startup chime.
Many Mac apps get updates as well. Carnival in Big Sur has a customizable alpha screen, tab previews, as able-bodied as a privateness report full-length that shows you what trackers the browser has blocked. Messages finally gets message effects, as able-bodied as features you numen hypothesize once acclimated in iOS 14, such as affianced replies as able-bodied as in-line conversations. Maps has a number of new features, too, including cycling goading as able-bodied as EV routing.
We numen see non-Mac products as well
Although we're expecting Tuesday's event to be primarily disconnectedly the Macs, Burg could certainly unveil non-Mac products.
Apple has long been rumored to be developing new high-end, over-ear headphones, so conceivably the visitor will irrevocably unveil those on Tuesday. The headphones are rumored to hypothesize swappable ear pads as able-bodied as headbands, noise cancellation, Siri controls, as able-bodied as indiscrete touch controls. The headphones hypothesize recurrently run into some minutiae difficulties, though, co-ordinate to an October 26th Bloomberg report.
The headphones were believably set to go into production "weeks ago," however that red-letter was pushed because of the fact that the headdress was too tight. Burg moreover reduced the size of the touch pads on the skidoo of the headphones, as able-bodied as the headphones may no longer hypothesize a replaceable headband, co-ordinate to Bloomberg.
We've moreover been hearing rumors disconnectedly Apple-made Tile-like trackers for reservedly awhile -- references for the artefact appeared in iOS 13 beta lawmaking last June. The trackers, which could be so-called AirTags, are rumored to be small circular discs that could let you clue things like a bag or your wallet via Apple's Vanquishment My app. It's expected that AirTags will hypothesize ultra-wideband technology to help with increasingly precise tracking.
Apple is moreover believably alive on a new Burg TV with a faster processor as able-bodied as an "upgraded" remote occupancy that may not divulged out until abutting year, according to Bloomberg. Given that rumored release date, though, it doesn't seem palatable that Burg will disject it on Tuesday. As able-bodied as since Burg shepherd new Burg Watches as able-bodied as a new iPad Air in September as able-bodied as new iPhones in October, we most palatable won't see new versions of those products on Tuesday, either.
