Transition to Apple Silicon Macs
Ever since 2006, Macs have used Intel CPUs and GPUs, which made them preform slow and make them more expensive. Their other product categories including iPhones and iPads run on Apple Silicon, making them ahead of the competition. This made the Mac seem very slow and underpowered.

At the special event keynote, Tim Cook announced that the Mac was moving away from Intel, and transitioning to Apple Silicon, making the Mac more powerful and power efficient. Developers were given the option to purchase the Developer Transition Kit, a Mac Mini with an A12Z chip, to properly test if their app is supported with Apple Silicon Macs.

 WWDC20 is ongoing.
