As early as 2019, the first indications of a change of supplier for Apple computer chips had been published on the web. Since then, these have multiplied, coming from subcontractors, specialized media close to factories in Asia or simple analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo. This time, another reputable newspaper issues similar statements:Bloomberg. Owned by the eponymous billionaire, former mayor of New York and American presidential candidate, the title counts among its readers a number of investors, some of whom are betting on the apple brand.
The transition from Intel CPUs historically installed on the firm's PCs could turn towards alternatives based on aarchitecture ARM. Nothing surprising in reality, since it is already this solution which has been favored for running both iPhones and iPads. A profitable strategy, which by letting Apple design its own components allows it to pay certain additional costs linked to subcontracting, and joins other similar technologies such asthe Lightning owner. Insourcing is indeed considered by many entrepreneurs as an effective option for long-term growth.
The keynote, an effective promotional tool
While the Worldwide Developer Conference is usually held at the San Jose Convention Center in San José (California), the current health context linked to the coronavirus pandemic which is still raging has disrupted the organizers' schedule. Apple has therefore chosen to completely digitize the show, which will be held100% online.Participants can notably use a dedicated application, although unofficial, accessible on Mac.
WWDC will also probably be an opportunity for the American manufacturer to lift the veil onwatchOS 7, iOS 14, and maybe a smaller HomePod or evena headset supposedly called AirPods Studio. As for the new devices under ARM, they would therefore be announced at the same time, for availability by next year. The time needed for developers to start updating their apps accordingly.
