The exciting part is, we have no idea what this means.

Perhaps Apple will announce a MacBook Air, unchanged but for the CPU inside.

What Is Apple Silicon?

Meanwhile, it has designed and built its own custom-designed A-Series chips for the iPhone and iPad.

Apple Silicon is what Apple now calls these custom-designed chips.

It should also mean that you might finally use your laptop in your lap without burning your thighs.

This makes some sense.

To say that Apple’s chips are suited for laptops is an understatement.

Apple will surely want to show off the battery-siping, low-power capabilities of these new MacBooks.

On the other hand, Apple will also want to show off the sheer power of its silicon.

Think about that for a second.

Apple’s phone CPU was faster than even the iMac Pro in some circumstances.

Still, don’t hold your breath.

There are lots of other possibilities, none of which have been confirmed or dispelled by rumors or leaks.

Will these Macs have touch screens?

Other possibilities include FaceID, a 5G cellular connection, a way-better front-facing camera, and Apple Pencil support.

In theory, Apple could put any of those into new MacBooks.

Well have to wait and see.
