As iDownloadBlog recently reported, some owners of the new Mac computers powered by Apple silicon are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues. Apple is aware of the problem and working on a fix which should soon arrive via a macOS software update.
2020 feels forever ago, and it's hard to imagine that in those 12 months I managed to buy two different MacBook Air models. But that's what happens when, at first, you really need to upgrade, and then, by the end of the year, Apple intrigues you enough to grab your interest all over again.
First Apple silicon Mac models include the company's popular notebook models, the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Thanks to optimizations in macOS Big Sur, these M1 Macs are speedy, responsive and very enjoyable to use.

Earlier today, a 3D animation apparently revealed just what, exactly, Apple's oft-rumored AirTags will look like. Now, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is weighing in on Apple's launch strategy for 2021, telling us what we're already expecting: it's going to be a busy year.
The M1 Mac lineup is brand new, both for Apple and consumers. So of course some folks out there want to test the limits of what Apple's first-party processor can do. Emulation is one way to do that, and one developer has found a way to emulate Nintendo Switch games on Apple's new hardware.
Photoshop maker Adobe last Friday released Apple silicon-optimized versions of its Premiere Pro, Premiere Rush and Audition creative software. These ports run natively on the new M1 Mac systems, such as the new Mac mini, MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.

The performance of both native ARM-based and emulated 64-bit Intel-based software on a Surface Pro X isn’t even close to the new Macs powered by Apple's M1 laptop chip. "Windows on ARM needs a miracle," according to one publication which ran various benchmarks to see how Windows on ARM compares to macOS Big Sur running on Apple silicon.
Apple officially launched the M1 Mac range earlier this year. And, since then, other companies have been updating their apps and services to support Apple's newest chip. Chalk up Mozilla's Firefox as the newest supporter.
With iOS and iPadOS 14.3, released yesterday, we got a new file format for our iPhone photos: Apple ProRAW.

That being said, iMazing wasted no time having implemented ProRAW support in its 2.13.2 update.
With M1 Macs available to purchased and basking in glowing reviews, Apple has now published a new editorial on the Mac App Store highlighting some of the major apps that have been optimized for Apple silicon.
