Apple may formally announce its transition away from Intel chips at its WWDC keynote later today. Apple will reportedly ditch Intel in favor of its own ARM chip designs. The first two ARM-based Macs will likely be a 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and a completely redesigned iMac.
With WWDC slated to kick off later today, we’ve seen some conflicting reports as to whether or not we’ll see Apple introduce new hardware at the company’s annual developer conference. Over the weekend, Jon Prosser — who has quickly emerged as a credible source with respect to Apple rumors — tweeted that Apple, at the last minute, may have scrapped its plans to announce new hardware at WWDC.
At the same time, reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a new investor note on Sunday (via AppleInsider) and laid out some of Apple’s hardware plans for the rest of the year. According to Kuo, Apple later today will, in fact, unveil the company’s first ARM-based Mac.
