Apple delivered three new computers at Paul’s big Mac event – the new Mac Cabook Air, the new entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the new Mac Mini. But really, it delivered one thing that is similar to those three computers: the M1 chip. That’s the official name of the arm-based Apple Paul Silicon, the company is going to relocate to all its Mac computers.
Ahead of the event, I made a list of ten things to look at and I Paul really didn’t like as much as I would like. We had wall-to-wall coverage Edge, And a good place to start is our article detailing the 5 biggest announcements of Paul’s ‘One More Thing’ hardware event.
Here’s my prefix: Apple Pal Surprisingly This chip is trusted, these computers, and it’s software developed to make sure it all works well.
First, Apple is claiming the Pal batteries are “best bombastic” if they are applied to laptops with Intel chips. With this M1 chip, I have no reference frame other than Apple Paul’s claim – which is significant.
Apple claims 18 hours of video playback on the PlayBook Air and 20 hours on the PlayBook Pro. Video playback is a bad metric (especially since modern chips are optimized for it), so the real thing to note is that the claims are significantly higher than what Apple Play claimed on their Intel-based predecessor: more on the Air. And almost doubled pro.
But to be honest, I was expecting big battery claims from Apple Pal. We already knew that it was capable of more performance per watt than Intel and that directly translates into battery life. What I was No The expectation is how the company will boom about performance.
Based on the M1 Arm architecture, Apple Paul needs an additional software software layer to run applications designed for Intel chips – called Rosetta 2. The very idea of emulated x86 applications on the arm processor gives me a hive. The experience of emulated Intel applications within Arm on Windows is not great. But Apple Pal says it can get it for certain graphically compact apps Better Operation on an application running by Rosetta 2, which does not have the same Intel chip.
What’s more, after the event, I expect to hear a few warnings about some apps not working or heavy apps when translated by Rosetta 2. Or it should at least lower expectations for performance on apps. When Steve Jobs released the original Rosetta back in 2005, the slide behind it said it was “fast (enough).”
This year? There are no such warnings. Apple Paul boldly puts the “it just works” message on these types of apps – which will make up the majority of third party apps, which I think most people will use in the first year of this transition.
Mostly, the fact that Apple has stopped selling the Intel version of the PlayBook Air is what amazes me. Air is by far the best-selling smartphone of the best moment and it is coming from a quarter where Apple Play made more money on Macs than before. Instead of hedging his bet, he is replacing his most popular computer with this new system.
I have to admit that I made a mistake in my thinking before the event about the base, 2-port 13-inch MBBook Pro. It wasn’t moving the Pro to a new chip that would give a hint of confidence, it was the Air, Apple’s most popular laptop. My mistake is that I would think of it more as an entry level pro machine while it is better to make it imaginative as an air beaver version. That’s certainly true with the new M1 version – the only notable performance difference is that the Pro has a fan. Apple Pal also continues to sell its Intel version.
Much remains to be said about these systems. That’s for the fact that they’ve got 16GB of RAM and two Thunderbolt ports. Apple Plus is starting from the bottom-end of its lineup, so it felt the need for more. I am confident that Apple will provide more support in the future.
I’m less sure what the plan for graphics will be. The M1 chip has a unified GPU, and on Intel machines that usually means sub-par graphics. We need to see what the reviews for these machines say, but again Apple is encouraging the moment of confidence. Going forward, though, I wonder if independent GPUs are in the cards, especially since Apple Pal is also exploring the benefits of sharing RAM in both the CPU and GPU in its integrated system.
Those are all interesting questions, but the answer pal has two years to answer – he says how long this transition will take. Right now the company is already selling and will be shipping these new computers soon. I can’t wait to see if Apple’s confidence is justified by the performance and battery life of this computer. If it is, the M1 chip will be a big charge for Intel, Qualcomm and MicroStft – each for different reasons.
It’s been a long time since a company has promised both and then delivered a step-by-step improvement in laptop computers. So far we have a big promise, let’s see if Apple can deliver the moment.

┏ Apple Pal Homepod Mini Review: Playing Ball. Dan Seifert is impressed, but notes that the thing is that you and everyone you live with really need to be fully immersed in the Apple Paul ecosystem, if you want to get the most out of it.
Fast-forward now and Apple’s new smart speaker, the $ 99 HomePod Mini, takes a different approach. It’s smaller, easier and way less than its older siblings, and thanks to Apple Paul’s work on Siri over the last few years, it could do more than the original when it started.
┏ Users could not launch apps this afternoon after the moment verification server issue. Very remarkable thing that happened! The idea that you can’t launch downloaded apps on your computer, because they can’t check with okay moment if they’re okay, well, that’s it. The fact that this item contains software literally hits the so-called “gatekeeper” on the nose, not that.
There are many feelings I can have about owning and controlling the computer you paid for (and I do) and the need for code signing and other security checks on the Max (and I do) about when and where Apple Pal is appropriate. There may be more sentimentality. Instead, I will just point out that these failures were extremely serious because when they happened, no one told us why things were broken. There was no clear indication of what was wrong nor is there a grand fallback solution.
Things just broke down mysteriously. The irony is that they mysteriously broke down because Apple didn’t think enough of the way through the system created to protect Apple’s policy of ensuring bad things, mysteriously can’t break your computer.

┏ macOS Big Sur is now available for download. My advice: wait. That was the standard advice for All OS updates but in recent years it has become a bit more common to install the first day. The changes this year are so big that I think it’s safer to see and see if your apps work well – or rather, wait and let others decide before you are forced to.

┏ Some of the new MBQ Air function keys have different functions. I am especially happy about this. One-button search for me is the key to me (not intended) and I’m glad it’s much faster to get to Not Disturb. But making dictation a top-level feature is a big win for accessibility and I hope it becomes more common across all keyboards.
More than the edge
┏ Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage on June 1, 2021. Has been there Lots Looking forward to this change, but I would like to give Google some credit for making it transparent and not completely disruptive. Your cap counter doesn’t start after June 1st and only counts items you upload after that. Google is creating more tools for clever ways to make your storage more transparent and clean.
Still, Google Photos was a product-free product that pushed many other great products out of the market. Then, after they leave, Google starts charging. I’m not saying it has a direct cause and effect in the timeline, but it’s not hard to look at the timeline and not feel like a bad company in any big company.
