With its latest beta, Dropbox is finally bringing support for Apple's M1 processor. What was one of the more oft-requested features turned out to be a bit of a double-edged sword for the service. That's because, before the end of 2021, it sure sounded like Dropbox had no intention of actually supporting Apple silicon at all.
Apple could unveil a third-generation iPhone SE with 5G networking, along with an Apple silicon update to the Intel-based 27-inch iMac, via a virtual Spring event in March or April.
There are a lot of people involved with Apple's transition away from Intel processors for its computer lineup. And Apple is certainly not giving up on the effort as it moves forward into 2022. However, the company has lost a leader in that department, and to the company that wants to give Apple the biggest run for its money.
A new industry rumor makes claims that Apple's upcoming update to its 27-inch iMac desktop won't include mini-LED display backlighting as previously speculated.
Apple has a lofty goal of transitioning its entire computer lineup to an Apple-made processor in the future. It is a timeline that has officially kicked off with several different machines, including the MacBook Air, the all-new MacBook Pro, and the redesigned 24-inch iMac, among others. But apparently Apple's not quite done with Intel just yet.
The upcoming Apple M2 chips are reportedly arriving in lower-end Macs in 2022, to be followed by the more powerful M2 Pro and M2 Max versions in higher-end systems in 2023. As for the third-generation M3 chips, those should follow 18 months after M2.
One of the strongest attributes for Apple is its A-series processors. And now, maybe even more so, the M-series. Apple has galloped away from the competition in mobile and desktop because of these chips. There have been rumors that Apple is going to expand that effort in the future, with a recent report saying as much. Especially towards wireless chips.
In 2021, Apple launched a brand new, redesigned iMac with a 24-inch display. The company added the M1 processor under the hood, along with a few other key changes, to help spice up its desktop lineup. To help with that, the new computer also comes in a wide range of colors. But now a new rumor aims to shed some light on Apple's pro aspirations for the desktop lineup.
Five new Apple silicon Mac computers are reportedly scheduled to land in 2022, including an entirely new baseline model of the MacBook Pro with Apple's next-generation M2 chip.
A public preview of the upcoming native version of Microsoft's OneDrive sync client, optimized for Apple silicon Macs, is now available to download for testing.
Apple put chipmakers on notice with the M-series processor, and provided a booster shot once again with the M-series Pro and Max chips. But, while the horsepower and capabilities of a computer are all great, some folks out there who would love to use an Apple silicon-based Mac simply can't because Windows can't be run on them. Yet.
Apple changed the game again with its M-series processor. It set a new benchmark for computer chips, and things are only looking brighter as we move forward. Apple just announced the M1 Pro and M1 Max, for instance, and they set even higher performance and benchmark scores than the standard M1. So, how's the competition going to respond?
