At the WWDC event on June 7, 2022, Apple announced the new MacBook and new OS.
Many creators use MacBook, and I think you will be interested in the MacBook and new OS announced this time.
This article briefly summarizes what Apple made at the WWDC event.
What Apple announced at WWDC
The content announced by Apple at WWDC is roughly divided into MacBook and OS.
I will introduce what kind of announcement was made concretely
New MacBook
The biggest news from Apple is the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M2 chips.
MacBook Pro has the following changes compared to the previous model
- Change from M1Max or M1Pro to M2 chip
- Add touch bar
- Up to 20 hours of operating battery
- Maximum core count and storage reduction
It is cheaper than the previous model and easier to purchase, but due to the decrease in the number of cores, it is a little unsatisfactory for creators seeking high performance.
There are the following changes to MacBook Air.
- Equipped with M2 chip
- Up to 10 GPU core
- 1080p FaceTime HD camera
- Spatial audio support
- 50g lighter
- Addition of midnight color
The latest MacBook Air is significantly more powerful than before and has almost the same performance as the MacBook Pro introduced earlier.
But the price is not much different from MacBook Pro.
New OS
In the announcement of WWDC, there were also announcements of iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and watchOS.
iOS 16 allows you to customize the lock screen and display the notification screen at the bottom.
It was announced that the major change of macOS Ventura is that the iPhone can be used as a webcam without connecting to a cable.
By updating iPad OS and watch OS, you will be able to use it as a more convenient device.
Should I buy a new MacBook?
Should I buy the MacBook announced at WWDC this time?
My answer is that if you’re not happy with the MacBook Air with the M1 chip, you should buy it, but if you have a MacBook Pro with the M1 chip, you shouldn’t.
Both MacBooks announced this time have more than MacBook Air with M1 chip and less than MacBook Pro.
I think anyone who wants a higher performance MacBook should buy the M1 chip MacBook Pro.
