Apple will stop using Intel processors in its computers. Instead, there will be the company's own chips

Apple announced at WWDC on June 22 that it plans to phase out Intel processors in its computers. Instead, next generation Macs will use processors designed by Apple itself.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said it was a "historic day" for the company. After the end of the transition, all Apple devices - iPhones, iPads and computers - will run on processors of a single architecture. This means that in the future, macOS will be able to run apps built for iOS and iPadOS.

Apple plans to release the first computer on the new processor before the end of 2020, and the period of complete abandonment of Intel will take two years. Developers will have early access to a Mac mini with the A12Z Bionic processor (like the one found in the newest iPad Pro).

Apple notes that users will be able to easily run applications built for the old architecture on new computers. At the same time, developers, according to the company, will need only a few days to add support for new processors to existing applications.
