Last week, Apple Inc launched its “MacBook Air notebook” along with “other machines” accompanied by first of its “central processor” which were in-house designed to suit Macs whereby tying its iPhones and computers technologically together.
The new chip has been named as the “M1” which shifts away from Intel Corp’s technology which operated Mac computers’ brain for nearly the last fifteen years. While, further hope is to develop “families of apps” common for both its platforms, namely, phones as well as computers.
The introductory price of “MacBook Air” will be “$999” while possessing double the battery life in comparison to its predecessors available at the same price. Likewise, “Mac Mini computer” as well as the “MacBook Pro notebook” will both be powered by the M1. The founder of “Moor Insights & Strategy”, Patrick Moorhead estimates that Apple will be saving in the margin of “$150 and $200 per chip in costs” as it uses its of CPU. In his words:
“We didn’t see Apple add any expensive features. They’re going with a much higher margin.”
According to Apple’s officials M1 has been designed to be fast besides improving battery life while the newest operating system’s version of Apple has been “tuned to the processor”. In the words of Nuvia’s vice-president, Jon Carvill:
“This announcement underscores how important high-performance, custom processor designs will be to leading the next generation of client computing. We think a similar trend is playing out in the future of the data center as well.”
Apple hopes to see its iPhone developers, which happens to be a massive group, embracing the “new Macs”, sharing a “common 64-bit Arm computing architecture with the iPhone”. In fact, the software chief for Apple, Craig Federighi informed that Adobe Inc would introduce “Photoshop software to the new M1-based Macs early next year”. Creative Strategies’ Principal Analyst for “consumer market intelligence”, Ben Bajarin said:
“The app ecosystem and the battery life are probably the two things people will gravitate to”.
