De cualquier manera que lo mire, WWDC 2021 se centrará en los chips: el poder, el potencial y la oportunidad. Todo lo demás de lo que habla la empresa en su evento de desarrolladores depende de estos procesadores.</p><h2><strong>Desarrolladores, desarrolladores, desarrolladores</strong></h2><p>Apple hablará principalmente con los desarrolladores en el evento. Querrá asegurarles que está escuchando las críticas susurradas por algunos durante el reciente juicio de Epic. Querrá encontrar formas de mantenerlos motivados, y no me sorprendería ver ajustes en la estructura de pago de la compañía, ya que busca compromisos que puedan atraer a los desarrolladores y evitar el escrutinio regulatorio.
The company will also want to talk about their software. After all, most of your devices now run on some variant of the same OS X root and Apple Silicon chips, so you've never had a better opportunity to unify your platforms while celebrating your unique skills. We anticipate news for iPadOS, for example. But even incredible stories fade to gray when it comes to the significance of Apple's silicon adventures. Apple's leading mobile processors have replicated their success on the Mac, and it seems likely that the company intends to take these designs to the next level at WWDC as it sets the stage for next-level products. Professional and inexorable changes to 3nm chips.
Doing with Mac
While it's true that Apple intends to launch a new chip in a new MacBook Pro at WWDC, its high fashion runway video is probably taking place in a secret room in Cupertino. Apple has already presented a new MacBook Pro at WWDC, for example in 2009 with the 13-inch one. model and in 2012 with Intel's Ivy Bridge chip. The press release and product pages will be signed off and the video and marketing assets finalized for the big reveal, and the usual suspects are already telling us the product specs thanks to predictable and always-on-time "leaks." And yet, even if Apple doesn't introduce a new Mac at its Developer Show, WWDC will still be all about chips. A year after announcing the transition, Apple will want to discuss it because the reception they've received has been exceptional, sales have skyrocketed, and customers have disappeared. It's at WWDC that the company will want to talk about how it plans to bring its teams together. Mac, iPad, iPhone, even iPod touch – all of these devices have more that unites them than separates them, and while the talk of turning these vastly different products into an amorphous whole makes no sense, allowing for better continuity. more unified process. The user interface makes a lot of sense. Because Apple doesn't care that you're using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad to get things done, it wants you to use the best tool for the unique task you're involved with. The same goes for developers: Apple wants to make it possible to build once and serve all of its platforms. After all, this is what he built. And soon, I think you're going to create these experiences on an iPad Pro.
A chip you can use anywhere
But even that goal doesn't seem as ambitious as it could be. It's worth thinking about what you can do when you have the essential hardware, software, services, and technology (Apple Silicon) that powers the entire ecosystem. This type of control means you can optimize the software and hardware before you start building. This means you can create 10-year product roadmaps. It also means you can provide developer APIs that just aren't possible on platforms that don't have all these things. Apple will want to talk about it too: how its control of the processor/software stack allows it to create an ecosystem within which developers can create unique experiences.
So at WWDC '21 we now have a migration story, a processor development story, a developer story, and some changes in Apple's relationship with developers. We also have a company that will want to start sharing some of its ambitions for its increasingly unified ecosystem.
Where is this record?
Right now, Apple owns almost every technology used in its products, from the design and operating system to unique aluminum alloys, packaging from renewable forests, and components designed/financed with close partners. Apple even designs the production lines. Starting in or around 2023, this control will extend to cellular radio. Apple owns the stack, and at the heart of that stack are its processor designs: powerful yet low-voltage designs implemented in smartphones, desktops, laptops, tablets, and capable of adapting to anything. doctor. to industrial machines. WWDC 2021 is all about chips. And the potential. Follow me on Twitter or join me at AppleHolic Bar & Grill and Apple Discussion Groups on MeWe.
