Apple’s ARM-Powered MacBook Pro Will Be Late

Apple’s transition from Intel to ARM on MacOS means a new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. When will they be released?

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere. It appears that some type of delay is being discussed here. Thoughts?

There won't be any Apple events for a while. Any big announcement will be done via WWDC style video.

Don't really need a bunch of on-site attendees to make an event; virtual, like WWDC 2020, is still an Apple Event...!

As far as I know Komiya_KJ doesn't have any track record. Until then he's pretty much just spamming ...

Tim Cook said they would have an Apple Silicon Mac ready in 2020, I am sure that they took into account COVID 19 and manufacturing delays when he said that. He also did not say that it would be a MacBook or any other portable for that matter. Clearly they have the Mac mini pretty much ready to go.

Apple could be ramping up for a trifecta release; 24" iMac, 14" MacBook, & Mac mini; all would use the same logic board & SoC. Different form factors for different market segments, but all working with the same hardware specs (BTO RAM & storage options aside). ASi products out in a variety of form factors & usages, but any first gen hiccups are confined to a singular hardware profile...

Forbes, and Ewan Spence in particular, are not worthy of posting. Don't give them the clicks.
