even since they have been gaining big money, you get anything? mtcheeww

Apple is working on some new Mac devices that will be powered by Apple’s own in-house ARM-based processors. According to rumours, we could be seeing ARM Mac devices in 2021.

ARM processors are custom device chips, unlike what you will see from top chip-makers like Intel and AMD. They are usually less energy-hungry and can run on a device without any Fans and special cooling systems. ARM processors are popular in mobile devices and iPads, delivering longer battery life.

What will be interesting to see about the new ARM Mac devices is how they run MacOs and how developers will support them. Will developers be onboard with the idea of optimising their apps for the ARM architecture? For now, there is no info on whether Apple is planning to move the MacBook Pro to ARM soon. We could still see Intel-based MacBook Pro devices for another 4 to 6 years of the product generation.

ARM processors are cool for tasks like light web browsing, media playback emails and other non-heavy office tasks as they can deliver up to 16 hours of battery life. Making devices powered by ARM processors will also cost less in manufacturing and might translate to more affordable devices in the Mac lineup.

It will be interesting to see how far Apple can push their ARM processor to go beyond what existing ARM devices can do in terms of performance. But for now, working with what already exists, if you need a computer for heavy tasks like software development, graphics intense work, etc, you might want to wait a bit before jumping on this wagon.

you're forgetting about poverty. How many have access to Android phones with data with which to access the app and read trending information.

It's like when we said "Wash your hands frequently, and self isolate" forgetting that there are people living clustered in slums like Makoko and Lekki-Epe, with no access to portable water. Or when we said "work from /stay at home" meanwhile no regular power supply or affordable internet subscription.

Brings me to these greedy Telcos, especially MTN... Imagine, till now, still no subsidy for data. It's unbelievable!

How much?

SCAM

Today the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to open up a plot of spectrum in 6GHz band for unlicensed use. Current WiFi broadcasts at 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

With WiFi 6E, devices will broadcast at 6GHz and that will translate to more speed and reliability. 6E is expected to start rolling out by the end of 2020.

When there is a very long list of available WiFi connections in your location, on the current standards, that could lead to less speed and reliability in connection as devices compete for signal. Getting a new 6E router will give you an advantage as your device will not be competing for the current 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Chip maker Broadcom already announce a WiFi 6E mobile chip and we should start seeing WiFi 6E devices in stores from Q3 2020 and early 2021.
