    Is it worth buying anything to do with Macs before they release the ARM versions? I can just picture me buying this new iMac they are releasing and it being worthless in 4 years time when they stop supporting Intel machines.

    Or am I being thick and it won't effect anything?

    I just have memories of what happened when they swapped to Intel chips in the first place. The older models were redundant 3yrs later as you couldn't update the OS and therefore couldn't update the software etc etc.

    • I say this as I was really thinking about getting a new iMac. My 2012 is getting a bit tired and I would love a Retina screen. Think I'll wait another :-(Hayzilla
    • ARM cpu's will only go in low-end Macs first like Macbook Air. Will take at least 1-3 more years until the transition to other ones. And even longer for Mac ProNBQ00
    • I wonder how long they'll even make Mac Pros considering how little they care about that end of the market.CyBrainX
    • "how little they care"? When they just brought you a brand new Mac Pro and even a XDR Screen.NBQ00
    • Have they released the new iMac?Gnash
    • The timeline might be announced later this month, so maybe worth waiting to hear about that.nb
    • Gnash, if they did you would know about it, sigh. It's coming at WWDC2020 in like 2 weeks :)NBQ00
    • I need I new one badly...Gnash
