Apple (AAPL-US) held the third fall conference this year, “One More Thing,” on Tuesday and launched three new Mac products equipped with Apple’s M1 chip, symbolizing the end of the Intel chip era since 2005. Currently, these three new models The computer has accepted the order and will begin shipping next week.
The 3 new Mac products are:
1. MacBook Air
2. MacBook Pro
3. Mac mini
The appearance design of these 3 models is almost the same as that of the current generation, but Apple emphasizes the difference in performance after the M1 chip is equipped and the contribution of the M1 chip to extend the battery life.
In addition, the next-generation Mac operating system macOS Big Sur also appeared at this conference.
