M1 positivity
That initial announcement was certainly exciting but relatively light on detail. In November 2020, we learned a lot more about what we now know as the M1 chip, and it has become increasingly apparent why this transition was so important for Apple (see MF360). Not only was the reaction to those first M1 machines hugely positive, but Apple has now doubled down, delivering the hugely powerful M1 Pro and M1 Max SoCs inside the latest MacBook Pros.
It is worth noting that many old, but widely in-use, Macs contain Intel chips. So do some in the current Mac line-up – the 27in iMac, the high-end Mac mini, and the super-powerful and super expensive Mac Pro. When first announcing Apple silicon, CEO Tim Cook spoke about a transition period, and the direction of travel from Apple is clear… those devices currently running on Intel chips will be phased out and replaced with Apple silicon versions.
