Mass production of new AirPods will start in the first half of 2021

According to Ming Chi Kuo, the new AirPods will replace the rigid PCB+SMT design for a System-in-Package which was the one used in the AirPods Pro. Kuo suggests that these internal changes will be the biggest change to the new AirPods, and even if this allows for a more compact design, they will retain the same design from the Second Generation. These changes will mainly be made due to the lack of interest in the current AirPods, and they would go into mass production in the first half of 2021. He also claims that the second generation AirPods Pro would also start mass production in Q4 of 2021. Here’s the thing though, if there’s a drop in demand, why keep the same design? Makes no sense.

Story of the day:

Apple plans to equip Macs with its own custom processor starting next year

Finally, the hottest news today could signify the beginning of the end for Intel. I mean, we’ve seen the rise of AMD, now owning GPUs for Apple and having major manufacturers switch, and well, Apple has been making its own ARM chips since the first iPad 10 years ago. According to Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly launching at least one ARM-based Mac next year. The sources claim that Apple is working on three custom ARM-based chipsets for Macs, which will be based in the A14 processors that will power the 2020 iPhones. Even though they will be based on the A14 they will be way more powerful, and this chip will allegedly be built on a 5nm process. According to the report, the first chip will have eight high-performance cores codenamed Firestorm and four low-power cores for efficiency codenamed Icestorm. This means they will have at least 12 cores when compared to the 6 cores on the A13. It will be a complete SoC, including the CPU and GPU on a single die. The chips will most likely make it to MacBooks and then move on to iMacs and desktops.
