    It seems that should be 2022 in the headline instead of 2020...

    That is correct. Thanks for spotting the error, it has been fixed. 
    This is AppleInsider following through on their own articles by reading the comments. Too many writers do hit and run style posts completely disregarding what their readers have to say. I like it.

  • Apple Silicon will force industry to reconsider use of Intel chips, says ex-Apple exec

    Normally Apple waits for someone else to come up with the tech then they step in with something better. This time they’ve been waiting on Intel for so long they’re heading this journey ahead of everyone else. I’m happy for them and everything that’s to come of it.

    No mention of an iMac in there.
    Because it was an article about MacBooks.

    Sinofsky holds the distinction having one of the biggest demo fails in Microsoft history. I still wince when I think of it.
    Some people have the ability to move past their failures. Funny that while he can move past some demo failure, you still can’t! Even Apple has had some epic failures. If they were still wincing about it nothing would get done! Get over yourself!
    Well said. Far too many people that would otherwise be levelheaded these days are dwelling so far into the past that we as a country cannot move on and his statement proves he’s just another one of those people. We as a whole need to learn from our mistakes, learn from the past, set the past aside, and move on to a better future because of the history we have learned from.

  • Components for first Apple Silicon Macs will cost Apple more, says Kuo

    Of course, the new Apple Silicon computers will cost more! The Intel prices are pretty high but Apple had pay Intel for the processors! Apple pays a license fee to ARM in Japan and pays TSMC to build the chips! It will be more expensive despite everybody dreaming of lower costs! Apple wants everything proprietary and hence perceived control but I believe that will hurt them like it hurt Sony years ago! 

    Years ago the technology wasn’t there to make seamless working transitions as it is today. The transition from PowerPC to Intel was tough and a bumpy ride because as in today’s standards both technologies were no good. Today’s tech and engineering on both the hardware and software side of things are far superior to anything we’ve seen back in the day. Apple knows how to do these transitions and I think now is the right time technologically.
