If you just bought a new MacBook Air with a 10th-gen Intel processor, it might soon be a collector’s item. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is rarely wrong with his Apple predictions, says Apple is planning a major transition to ARM processors in 2021, marking the end of a near-20-year partnership with Intel.
In an analyst note obtained by 9to5Mac, Kuo says Apple will adopt an “aggressive processor-replacement strategy” with numerous models targeted for Apple’s own ARM processors in 2021. He had previously predicted that the first ARM Mac would arrive in the fourth quarter of this year, but the effects of the coronavirus could push back those plans.
