On June 22, 2020, Apple announced the Macintosh’s transition from hot, slow, inefficient Intel processors to vastly superior Apple Silicon that the company explicitly stated would be the “beginning a two-year transition.”
Well, two years elapsed on June 22, 2022. Apple is now 3 months and 18 days (and counting) late.
Specifically, Apple is still selling a Mac mini sporting an Intel Core i5 and, most glaringly, the routinely ignored Mac Pro still fully hamstrung with Intel processors. We also seem to have lost the option of a larger iMac along the way as well (the current 24-inch iMac attempts to straddle between the former 21.5- and 27-inch models). I’d much prefer for Apple to offer customers a choice between the current 24-inch iMac and a new 32-inch iMac option.
But I digress. The point is that we’re coming up on two and a half years since the beginning of Apple’s “two-year transition” to free the entire Mac lineup from Intel dreck by upgrading to superior Apple Silicon.
So, how much longer do we have to wait, Apple?
