While WWDC20 going all-online means that many will miss out on in-person connections for Apple's conference this year, there are some positives that come along with the pandemic-forced change, the biggest one being no limit on the number of participants. Anyone around the world can join in on WWDC20 that will feature over 100 developer sessions with Apple engineers, the all-new Apple Developer Forums, and 1-on-1 Developer Labs (by appointment).

With everyone tuning in virtually this year, Apple has made access to the WWDC keynote better than ever, including expanding its Apple Developer app to Mac (formerly the WWDC app). You can watch the livestream just below or check out the range of options…

Apple will stop using Intel chips in all Macs by 2021, top analyst says - CNBC

Apple is planning to move all of its Macs from Intel processors to custom Apple chips in 2021, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a note over the weekend.

Apple has been using Intel chips to power its computers for 15 years, but iPhones and iPads are powered by Apple's A-Series Arm-based processors. If Apple switches Macs to the same type of processors, it will be able to build computers without waiting for Intel to develop a new processor. And it could help Apple stand out from competitors in the laptop market, such as HP, Dell, Samsung and Microsoft, that rely on Intel or AMD chips.

"We expect that ARM Mac models outperform Intel Mac models by over 50%-100%," Kuo said in the note.

Kuo expects the first of Apple's new computers, which include an "all-new form factor design iMac," to launch as soon as the fourth quarter of 2020.

Today's Mac apps were designed to run on Intel chips, but Apple's macOS Catalina software, which powers Macs and was released in October, includes Apple's Catalyst technology. It allows developers to bring iPad and iPhone apps to the Mac. One area Apple will need to discuss, however, is how developers who have written apps only for the Mac will be able to move them over to the new chips, too. In theory, it should be easier for developers to make apps that run across all Apple devices once they're all powered by the same chips.

Despite these potential obstacles, Kuo said TF International securities believes "shipments and market share of MacBook will significantly grow, thanks to the adoption of the Apple processor" and a new type of screen called a mini LED display. The processor and screen "will improve the user experience significantly," Kuo said. He did not explain what might change, but Apple's chips could make it easier for the company to add cellular connectivity to its laptop and the new processor and screen could help extend battery life.

Bloomberg said earlier this month that Apple could announce its decision to begin moving away from Intel chips as soon as Monday, when its annual developer conference kicks off. CEO Tim Cook's keynote begins at 1 p.m. ET.
