We have been talking for some time about the possibility of Apple adding its own processors to Macs and of course we have already seen the first steps with the chips to use fingerprints which does not mean much if we consider that the main processor is still Intel. But this could change soon based on the rumors we are seeing from analysts like MIg-Chi Kuo, who insists on putting a date for the first MacBook with ARM processors Apple.
In addition to the ARM chips, the USB 4 standard will also arrive on Macs
The news or rather rumors about the arrival of ARM processors to Macs is recurrent and it is expected that if the Covid-19 let Apple do the job properly, it may not take us more than a year to see those first Macs with Apple processors. This is also partly due to the pressure that Apple is under from Intel, which releases the processors when "it can" and it is in those moments when Apple suffers, we will see how this ends with the passage of time.
The advances in USB They do not stop either, but at Apple it seems that this adoption is slower than they themselves would like. In this case, the standard will come from ASMedia Technology and the adoption of USB 4 may not be available until 2022. The issue of dates is not clear for several reasons right now, but the main one is due to the coronavirus that would really be affecting the capacity of R&D and of the manufacture of components and others. It will be time to closely follow the news regarding these advances on Mac.
