ARM processor for Macs coming in 2020 or 2021, Apple car in 2023 says Ming-Chi Kuo
Mac ARM models will flop. A pointless and dumb exercise. It took Apple 20 years to unify on Intel ... trying to be different and claiming PowerPC was faster didn't get them anywhere.

What to expect at Apple's September iPhone release event and when it will be
jbgomez88 said:This is a crazy theory and very much wishful thinking:
Wouldn’t it be cool if Apple’s focus on performance for iOS 12 was part of a broader project to develop an ARM version of macOS (possibly written in Swift [ok, now I’m REALLY pushing it]) that would be viable for their next-gen A12 SoC (or possibly A12X)? This would be perfect for their sub-$1000 “MacBook Air” refresh, as they’d be able to drive costs down significantly, I imagine. And I put “MacBook Air” in quotes because I believe it’s likely that they’d simply drop that line and designate this machine as the successor to the MacBook.

No - that would be stupid and most unwelcome. What on earth would you want an ARM version of Mac OS for? To fragment the already suffering Mac OS space? To stop interoperability with Windows? To cause developers more stress. To force every program to be re-coded and re-written. For what? Move on ...

Melbourne Apple Store proposal loses controversial 'pagoda' design
The first design was far superior: the new design is boring, ugly and bland.

Leaked 'Amber Lake' Intel processors could be used in 12-inch MacBook refresh
lol rofl aha aha. A ridiculous concept - a) to lose Intel compatibility, b) for all the heartache, c) makes no sense: if it is faster, then it not suited to the bottom end; and if it is slower, who wants it anyway.macxpress said:I was hoping the next 12" MacBook refresh/update would have an Apple CPU/GPU inside of it.
