Rumors about Apple Silicon versions of the Mac Pro, larger iMac, and a totally redesigned MacBook Air are rampant. Some pundits expect a new, smaller form factor as well. What will power the new Mac mini? Probably the same M1X found in the new MacBook Pro. The mini has been a workhorse since its introduction in 2005, and many developers use this “headless” Mac. The only other Mac announcement I expect is a redesigned Mac mini. However, the Touch Bar may disappear in the new models, replaced by a standard row of function keys. I’m one of the oddballs who likes the Touch Bar on the existing 16-inch MacBook Pro. Some folks are expecting a variety of case colors like those seen on the new 24-inch iMac, but I’m dubious that a professionally-oriented laptop would come in colors other than silver and space gray. For graphics, two chip options provide either 16 or 32 GPU cores.įor those who feel that the current 16 GB of RAM in the M1 is too limiting, the M1X should have a maximum RAM size of 64GB. It has a 10-core design with eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores.

MacBook Pro 2021 concept by designer, Antonio De RosaĪ “pro” machine deserves a “pro” processor, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman posits that “M1X” Apple Silicon will drive the MacBook Pro. The new MacBook Pros should have one HDMI port, three Thunderbolt/USB ports, an SD card slot and a MagSafe power connector like that on the 24-inch iMac. To maximize screen size and minimize weight, the new MacBook Pros dispense with the logotype beneath the display. Expect both 14-inch and 16-inch models with an all-new and much flatter design.
Rumors are swirling around this announcement. Apple likes to keep WWDC hardware announcements to those devices that would be of interest to developers, and the MacBook Pro is prime for an Apple Silicon update. The most likely candidate for an announcement at WWDC21 is a new MacBook Pro or two. Hardware AnnouncementsĪpple has already surprised us in 2021 with the release of new iPads Pro, AirTags and the 24-inch M1 iMac. Each of Apple’s operating systems gets time in the spotlight, focusing on new features. A major hardware announcement is usually on the schedule. While they lack the spontaneity of live events (I’ve witnessed quite a few demos that went bad.), these video events provide the maximum amount of information in the least amount of time.Īpple CEO Tim Cook is always on hand to start off the festivities and thank developers for another banner year. These presentations are now the norm for all product announcements. In 2020, Apple replaced the usual live keynote with a slickly-produced video production.

On Mac, iPhone and iPad, it’s even possible to download the videos for future viewing. There’s also an iMessage app for the event.Ĭonference sessions are viewable in real-time or after the fact. The Apple Developer App is available for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. To paraphrase an old ad catchphrase Apple used in the early days of the iPhone, “there’s an app for that”. Anyone can sign up for the developer program at a cost of $99 per year and have access to the individual sessions, virtual lab appointments, and so on. Apple limits participation in the detail sessions to registered Apple developers. The video livestreams on Monday are open to everyone. Guess what? The virtual event offers the same experience, without the expense of travel and hotels. The live events of the pre-COVID era included the keynote address, a “State of the Union” talk, hundreds of in-depth sessions, lab appointments with Apple staff, coding challenges and more. It allows all developers to take part, not just a lucky group that wins a ticket lottery. Will the 2022 event return to an in-person conference? To be honest with you, I’m personally hoping Apple continues the virtual format. Let’s look in our crystal ball and see what WWDC21 might have in store for Apple developers and users.Īs with the 2020 event, WWDC21 is a completely virtual event. New hardware often debuts at the event, especially when it has features that are of interest to the developer community. It’s where we hear what changes and new features are coming to Apple operating systems. On Monday morning, June 7 at 10 AM PDT, the virtual keynote for the event livestreams around the world.
Apple’s 2021 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC21) is just around the corner.
