upgrades to M-series processors.
A redesign of the MacBook Air is
likely on the horizon.
Now that the professional-level
version of the M1 chip has arrived,
there really aren’t that many chapters
left to write in the story of the
transition to Apple silicon. All along,
Apple has said that this is a two-year
transition, and it sure feels like it will
meet that self-imposed timetable.
All that is left to revise is the Mac
Pro, the larger iMac, and the high-end
Mac mini. All but the Mac Pro could
probably be solved with the existing
M1 Max and M1 Pro chips. And with
a second generation of M-series
processors due in 2022, who wants to
bet against Apple shipping an M2 Max
Mac Pro about 12 months from now?
Not me. If the past year has
taught any of us anything, it’s
that Apple silicon delivers. I don’t
expect the next year to change
that perception one bit.
