It is ten days until the 2020 WWDC Keynote (June 22 @ 10:00 AM (PDT)) and the rumors are flying over what will be the big reveal this year. There are rumors of new features in both MacOS and iOS and on the hardware side as well. Based on a very credible report at least one major announcement will be the first Mac with an Apple designed ARM processor instead of Intel1️⃣ but the question is will it be an iMac or a MacBook. The iMac is due for a refresh but because of its lower power requirements and cooler running an ARM processor would appear to be ideal for the MacBook. There is another strong rumor of a new MacBook based on the iPad Pro but running MacOS. Are they one in the same? Another rumor predicts Apple keypad capability for more (all?) iPads.
  1. So what do you think?
    • A Mac with an ARM processor will NOT be announced?
    • Will the ARM processor be in an iMac or a MacBook?
    • If it is a MacBook will it be a true MacBook or essentially an iPad Pro running MacOS?
    • How will it stand up to the Intel based Macs in performance?
    • Whatever it is will it have the ability to run both MacOS and iPadOS apps side by side?
    • Something else entirely
  2. What new features would you like to see…
    • On the Mac (MacOS 10.16)?
    • on the iPad (iPadOS 14)?
    • on the iPhone (iOS 14)?


FOOTNOTES:
1️⃣ It just occurred to me a processor change might be the reason for some of the recent changes in MacOS such as Catalina being 64 bit only and the changes in kernel extensions that are apparently for MacOS 10.16❓🤷‍♂️❓



If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
