With the transition to proprietary processors, Apple will reformat its line of laptops
It is clear that with the transition to ARM processors of its own design, Apple laptops will become thinner and add to autonomy. Perhaps they will also become cheaper. But for Apple itself, the transition to ARM will result in reformatting of the line, because some models will no longer make sense. In particular, in the MacBook Air.
Rumor: Apple will “kill” MacBook Air
If the MacBook Pro 13 becomes thinner and lighter with the transition to ARM processors, they will practically repeat the MacBook Air. Accordingly, there is no point in offering consumers two identical models, and this will force Apple to abandon the MacBook Air in favor of the MacBook Pro 13. The new model of the series may be a reincarnated MacBook (it can also be called “The New MacBook”) – with a screen diagonal of 14 inches. As for the flagship 16-inch MacBook Pro, it will remain the flagship.
I must say that the informant who published this data has a very good reputation: the accuracy rating of his data on the resource that published the rumor is estimated at 73.3%. And in general, this “leak” looks very logical.
