Apple silicon was featured in the new MacBook Pro. This is the first Mac to have the company's ARM-based silicon chip. This feat of engineering deserves to be praised. Although it took a while, the final product is sleek, powerful, and extremely energy-efficient. The new model has a 6K output, spatial audio, and a USB4 port. It also comes with a more efficient adapter.
Apple is constantly working on new products. This is no secret. The company has introduced new iPhones as well as iPads, while also steadily improving its Mac range. The new Macintosh 13-inch model has a faster processor and more memory options, as well as a better image signal processing processor. It also has a six-watt adapter that's sixfold more powerful than the last model. The battery lasts for nearly six hours and it is a worthy successor.
Apple is said to be developing a Mac mini with a higher price tag, as well as a newer model. It's likely to be available in the near future. What's more, the company has been working on its own silicon chip, and is likely to use it in the next gen of MacBook Pro.
Apple M2, a 5nm TSMC process, is another new product that will be included in a variety of Macs. Although it's not a revolutionary new chip, it has several noteworthy features. It includes 20 billion transistors and 50 percent more memory bandwidth. Additionally, the claimed 6 percent reduction in power consumption. Apple has been criticized for its inability to innovate with its consumer electronics products. These are major wins for Apple.
The 2022 release of a redesigned Mac Air and MacBook Pro with MagSafe support is on the horizon. Apple could become a major player in personal computing if it can achieve these goals. If it can keep up the pace with the competition. The consumer's willingness to pay for tech will play a major role.
We'll be content with the current MacBook Air and the latest MacBook Pro, which are both more affordable. Apple did not announce any major product launches since October but it reported a strong December quarter. Specifically, Mac unit shipments increased by 6.2%. Considering that the company took the biggest share of the smartphone market, we can only assume that Apple is also raking in the cash. With the new model and a rumored refresh coming this year, we'll be seeing a whole lot more of these machines.
What's the tech industry buzz? Apple's latest products aside, we've also seen the release of a few cool new apps such as Apple News and Watch. Apple has been hard at work on many new features, including the all-new iOS 12 with its sleek iOS-powered Apple CarPlay.
