Up to 20 hours of battery life: Apple introduces new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac mini

Apple held its third exhibition in a year, showcasing one of its most anticipated products: Macs with Apple Silicon processors. Company executives unveiled the new chip, as well as MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini computers. We will tell the details.

M1 chip

• M1 is a new chip for Apple computers. Several chips are assembled on a single chip: processor, RAM, graphics, protection systems, etc. At the same time, Apple promises that the chip is more efficient and consumes fewer resources. Of course, this is one of the best products among the competitors, the company promises, showing a dozen corresponding graphics.

• The company also claims that creating its own “hardware” will further accelerate the already fast macOS Big Sur operating system. According to Apple representatives, optimization has made the system more efficient, while increasing battery life. They say Final Cut X will fly.
• The big question is which applications should now run on multiple platforms. Apple claims that it has created a special technology to port applications to Apple Silicon with Intel, which will allow applications to run on two platforms at the same time. Additionally, iPadOS applications will also run on Apple Silicon. The company also invited external developers to talk about how they have improved things: they ensure that everything works up to 8 times faster.
