Apple is preparing to announce a shift to its own main processors in Mac computers — replacing chips from Intel — as early as this month at its annual developer conference

, according to people familiar with the plans.

Apple is using technology licensed from Arm, part of Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank. This architecture is different from the underlying technology in Intel chips, so developers will need time to optimise their software for the new components. Apple and Intel declined to comment.This will be the first time in the 36-year history of the Mac that Apple-designed processors will power these machines. It has changed chips only two other times.

Inside Apple, tests of new Macs with the Arm-based chips have shown sizeable improvements over Intel-powered versions, specifically in graphics performance and apps using artificial intelligence, the people said. Apple's processors are also more power-efficient than Intel's, which may mean thinner and lighter Mac laptops in the future.

At the conference, Apple is also readying updates to its other operating systems — iOS, iPadOS, tvOS and watchOS — with changes to augmented-reality capabilities, deeper integration with outside apps and services, and improved Apple Watch fitness features. A big priority is improving the performance of its mobile software after last year's release, iOS 13, suffered from several issues.
