Tim Cook promised a two-year transition to Apple Silicon for the Mac, but we're still waiting for it to be complete.
Those were the exact words used by Tim Cook at WWDC 2020 when describing the monumental effort of transitioning its entire line of Macs from Intel to Apple Silicon. A two-year transition seemed extremely ambitious at the time. ARM-based computers, outside of the world of mobile devices, were largely unproven up to this point.
And yet, they pulled it off. In the past two years, the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, the Mac Mini, and even the iMac have all been transitioned to Apple Silicon — to great success. Apple even added the Mac Studio to the lineup earlier this year as an entirely new product.But over two years from the launch of the first Apple Silicon Macs in October of 2020, there’s still one major Mac missing. The Mac Pro.
The delay is made stranger by the fact that Apple deliberately called out this fact at an event earlier this year. In talking about the Mac Studio, head of hardware engineering at Apple, John Ternus, said this: “They join the rest of our incredible Mac lineup with Apple Silicon, making our transition nearly complete, with just one more product to go: the Mac Pro. But that is for another day.”
