At the announcement, CEO of Apple, Tim Cook gave a two years transition period with the first generation Apple Silicon Mac arriving later in 2020. Neil Cybart pointed out that the release AR logo of the upcoming event opens and closes like a MacBook, therefore, Apple will definitely launch a Apple Silicon Mac model on November 10.

“The company is also preparing to announce its first Apple-branded over-ear headphones and a smaller version of the HomePod speaker as early as this month. The first Mac laptop with Apple’s own processor, among other products, will emerge at another launch in November.”

As per Ming-Chi Kuo, a 13-inch MacBook will be the first Apple Silicon Mac model, and The China Times claims that it will be powered by an A14x chip and will give 15 to 20 hours of battery life.
