By disemboweling a M1 Mac mini and jamming everything inside an old iMac, a YouTube content creator cobbled together what he calls the world's first Apple Silicon iMac — with major caveats.
Apple may be planning to remove support for Rosetta 2 on M1 Macs in certain regions with the release of macOS 11.3, according to code strings discovered in the third beta build of the software update.
Apple has reportedly stopped production of the 512 gigabyte and 1 terabyte flash media configurations of the 21.5-inch iMac, which may signify an update is coming sooner rather than later.
Apple Silicon maker TSMC plans to raise over half a billion dollars in bonds as it attempts to expand its operations to Arizona while facing a worldwide chip shortage.
Complaints about the potential lifespan of Apple Silicon Mac storage are causing concern that the current crop of M1 Macs could stop working within a few years — and have been stoked by unanswered questions, unreliable data, and a silent Apple.
More malware affecting Apple Silicon Macs has been uncovered, but researchers have spotted that it is lacking a malicious payload, for the moment.
The first malware native to Apple Silicon M1 Macs has been discovered by independent security researcher Patrick Wardle.
Parallels on Tuesday released a second Technical Preview of its virtualization software for M1-equipped Macs.
A supposed listing for an Apple M1 successor has surfaced on a benchmark site, though it's likely that the chip's specifications are a prediction rather than the results of a test.

The M1 chip makes the Mac platform more secure in a number of ways, but it could also signal a change toward a locked-down version of macOS that could have its own security drawbacks.
Chip producer Intel has claimed its line of processors are still better than Apple's M1, though the comparison between the 11th-generation Intel chips and Apple Silicon shows this under circumstances cherry-picked by the chip manufacturer.
Two months since the first Apple Silicon Macs shipped — and seven since the Developer Transition Kit — very many of the most popular Mac apps have yet to fully adopt the new technology.
Popular macOS package management utility Homebrew has officially added support for Apple Silicon in its latest release.
Apple on Wednesday said it will soon request developers who took part in the Universal App Quick Start Program to return their Developer Transition Kit, a custom Mac mini powered by an A12Z Bionic system-on-chip.
Apple chip partner TSMC has ambitions to grow beyond the rising production demands of its biggest client, a report claims, with the chip foundry increasing its investments in other computing fields.
