    How the Mac’s M1 chip gave it a second life

    Given the choice, Apple would have rolled out its first custom-designed Mac chips on its own terms, probably at a high-profile event in the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park. But given that it was November 2020, the company was forced to release a 45-minute video instead.

    Welcome to the latest instalment of the popular gameshow “AI, or just crap?” Okay, it’s the first instalment, but stick with me.Our contestant this week is the new illustrated edition of A Feast For Crows by George RR Martin, which has faced a mid-size backlash for the quality of its artwork.

    Apple will initially reserve its MacBook Pro OLED display upgrade to the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch models with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, while the base 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro will continue to feature a mini-LED based screen, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
