Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, who has had a generally good track record on reporting the internal workings of Apple and cites "people familiar with the plans”, say that Apple has three Mac processors in development as part of its Kalamata project, which are all based on the A14 chip that’s due to be used in this year’s new iPhone lineup with one of these Mac processors including a 12-core CPU with eight high-performance “Firestorm” cores and at least four energy-efficient “Icestorm” cores. We wrote about it back in January 2019 in our article The Apple Switch From Intel To Arm Processors - How Will The Pro Audio Industry Prepare?Ĭoming back to this month’s WWDC, a number of outlets are quoting a report from Bloomberg that claims Apple is planning to announce the transition from Intel processors to ARM chips in the Mac lineup this month at WWDC 2020. It is being predicted that the next version of the macOS will be built to support ARM processors as well as Intel chips, at least for the portable power-conscious devices. ![]() Could This Be The Time For Apple To Announce The Move From Intel To ARM? If, as expected, Apple does announce the next version of the macOS at WWDC, it is likely to be later September or early October before it will be released based on Apple’s track record. ![]() Some suggestions include Marin, Monterey, Sacramento, Sequoia, Sonoma, Tahoe, or Ventura with a somewhat left-field suggestion, because we are all housebound, thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic, could be Alcatraz. ![]() Since 2013 it has been named after a Californian landmark. Firstly what will it be called? Even though Apple doesn’t give names to their iOS software, historically they have assigned a name to each version of the macOS. In this article, we are going to sidestep the iOS software and focus on macOS 10.16. So what is expected to be announced at WWDC 2020? Not unsurprisingly, it is being predicted that Apple will announce macOS 10.16, iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. In 2018 it was iOS 12 and macOS Mojave and in 2017 iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra. At the 2019 conference, Apple announced iOS 13 and macOS Catalina. Software Conference = Software AnnouncementsĪs WWDC is a software conference where developers come together, Apple tends to focus on software-related announcements. Apple explains that users will need access to a second Mac running the Apple Configurator 2 software as well as a USB-C cable to complete the upgrade.Īlthough the SSD Kits are now available to order, we understand that they are not likely to ship until the end of June 2020. All of which suggests that Apple values the Stock 256GB SSD kit at $200.Īlthough these kits are sold as user-installable products, because the SSDs are controlled by the Apple T2 Security Chip, installing these kits is not a simple plug and play process. ![]() The prices start at $600 for the 1TB kit, which compares to the build-to-order price of an extra $400 to go for 1TB instead of the stock 256GB SSD and climb on up to $2800 for the 8TB kit, which compares to the build-to-order price for 8TB of an extra $2600. You can find them in the Mac Components section of its online store with four SSD Kits for Mac Pro. The Mac Pro SSD user-installation upgrade kits come in pairs in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB sizes.
