Timothy C announces Apple will be manufacturing their own custom Silicon (chips) for the Mac. Will be moving away from Intel #WWDC20
That is indeed a historic announcement and not evangelizing. For Apple to vertically integrate all the way down to the chips used in their hardware? That's huge #WWDC20
The singularity is nigh
Universal2 will allow devs to use a single binary when creating apps to run on Apple chipsets or Intel. #WWDC20
I'd like to imagine Apple, Google, and Micro$oft engineers having a bat fight, complete with Will Ferrell singing the soundtrack
Quick Start program being launched to help devs port apps quickly to Apple OS which includes a Developer Transition Kit. Devs can apply for the program starting today #WWDC20
First Mac with Apple silicon expected to ship at the end of 2020 and transition away from Intel to take about 2 years #WWDC20
