Nachlese: Apples “One More Thing” -Event

Welcome to the futurezone live indicator for today’s Apple “One More Thing” presentation. The highlight will be the presentation of the new MacBooks, which for the first time are equipped with a processor developed by Apple itself. After years of announcements, the departure of Intel chips for Mac computers should take place. Apple’s first on-ear headphones and a location-tracking device called AirTags are also expected. It remains to be seen if these prophecies actually come true. The presentation begins at 7:00 pm

This phrase “One more thing” runs like a red thread in the history of Apple. Here is a good summary of the times it has been used in the past:

Everyone goes to the bathroom again, then keep your eyes on the FutureZone live indicator! I wish Tim Cook slept well.

Tim Cook roams the desert Apple Campus and greets the audience

This fall will introduce more Apple products than ever. Today is about Mac, reveals Cook

Mac is having the best year ever. 50 percent of all buyers are using Macs for the first time. People do all kinds of creative things on the Mac. There’s also a video featuring all kinds of well-known characters, like Tom Hanks, Lady Gaga, or Lisa Simpson.

Mac has always been about innovation and change. Apple Silicon is here.

Mac will take a “big step forward”. Apple Silicon has been in iOS devices for 10 years, now Apple chips should be coming to Mac too. The chip for Mac is called M1. It’s “unbelievably powerful,” say Apple engineers.

Tim Cook spoke at the beginning of the event about the popularity of previous MacBooks.

In the lab where the M1 chip was developed

The M1 chip integrates a wide variety of components that were previously separate in Macs. CPU, GPU, DRAM, and more are now combined into one package. 5-nanometer technology was used to house 16 billion transistors in the smallest spaces.
M1 has four cores that are said to be the most powerful in the world.

The M1 should be much, much better than the competition. The chip uses much less power to achieve high performance.

M1 has an integrated GPU with 8 cores. She is a “class of her own,” says Apple.

The advantages of the M1 at a glance

M1 has a neural motor that benefits machine learning. The “secure enclave” for authentication data is also built into the M1.

The Mac has never received a processor upgrade like this one, the presentation said.

Mac has never had a chip upgrade to this point, says John. The chip is also said to work wonderfully with macOS Big Sur, the next generation of the Mac operating system.

MacBooks now behave a bit like iPhone and iPad. If you open it, it wakes up in an instant. Unified memory architecture is the key to ultra-smooth graphics.
