This month, Apple is dealing with the first pre-orders and sales of iPhone 12, starting with the 12 and 12 Pro. The other two will arrive next month, but November will be marked with another important event: the official presentation of the MacBooks with Apple technology.
The company announced that it is moving away from Intel and moving closer to its own silicon in June during WWDC. However, the only real hardware unveiled that day was the Mac mini-based Developer Transition Toolkit, powered by an Apple A12Z Bionic. Leakster Jon Prosser reports that the ARM Mac event is scheduled for November 17th. It says Apple will officially confirm the date a week earlier, on November 10.
Unofficial information (purportedly sourced from TSMC) suggests that a 12-inch MacBook will be the first macOS device to run on an Apple-designed chipset. And that chipset would be the Apple A14X, an improved version of the A14 that is used in iPhones and iPads. Although, again, this has not been confirmed by Apple. He said it will take around two years to fully transition from the Mac line to its own silicon, so expect to see another generation or two of Intel-powered Macs.
Prosser adds that there will be one "more thing" at the ARM Mac event, the AirPods Studio, Apple's first on-ear headphones. They will be available in two versions, a sporty one for $ 350 and a premium model for $ 600. There were rumors early on that the Studio will be unveiled alongside the iPhones, instead we got the HomePod mini.
