Upcoming MacBook to have M2 chip: Apple may announce the chip next month at WWDC

Upcoming MacBook to have M2 chip: Apple may announce the chip next month at WWDC

After the superb outcomes of the famous M1 chip in terms of performance and acceptance, Apple is planning to bring the next member of the M1-series chips. The successor of the M1 chip is expected to be named the Apple M2 chip and may come as early as July 2021.

Why does Apple want to come up with the M2 chip?

Apple’s M1 chip is renowned as one of the most efficient processors. Apple’s silicon chip comes with an integrated CPU, an integrated GPU, and an integrated Neural Engine. Due to the absence of separate segments, there is a high degree of resonance. This results in much faster throughput as compared to the previous generations of Apple hardware. Since the CPU and the GPU reside in a single chip, the overall size is significantly reduced. Moreover, the machine produces hardly any noise while functioning.

Although the M1 chip gives a tough competition to other best-performing chips in the market, it’s still the base model in the M-series Apple chips. Presumably, the upcoming Apple chips will be enhancements of the M1 chip. Users owning an Apple device with the M1 chip will play the role of beta users for the base model chip. The performance limitations and compatibility issues, if any, will be taken care of in the upcoming Apple M-series chips. However, the company is already taken that step and is planning to bring the new M2 chip. 

Which Apple products will get the upcoming M2 chip?

Apple’s M1 chip was introduced with the Macbook Pro 2020 and the MacBook Air 2020 models. However, at the Apple Spring Loaded Event 2021, the company announced a series of new products that will also run the M1 chip. These include the new iMac and the new iPad Pro.

Which Apple products will get the upcoming M2 chip?
Which Apple products will get the upcoming M2 chip?

Apple has not revealed which products will house the M2 chip. As of now, only the upcoming MacBook Pro models are expected to be powered by the M2 chip. The upcoming MacBook Pro models may arrive in 14-inch and 14-inch form factor. The M2 chip installed on them will deliver better processing and graphics capabilities as compared to the current Intel and M1 based Macbook Pro models.

How will the upcoming Apple M2 chip different from the M1 chip?

Apple has not revealed the architecture of the upcoming M2 chip. However, the chip will reportedly be manufactured by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.). The same company manufactures Apple’s M1 chip. The chip is expected to be implemented on a 5-nanometer plus process to deliver an enhanced performance and more integration with the Apple software. How soon can Apple announce the M2 chip?

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2021 is around the corner. It is expected to take place between Jun 6, 2021, and Jun 10, 2021. Apple had announced the M1 chip at WWDC 2020 followed by its official launch in November 2020. Thus, the company is expected to reveal the upcoming M2 chip and its specifications during the event.

In the past few weeks, India has observed a rapid rise in the COVID-19 cases. There has been an intermittent shortage of medical supplies and assistance in different parts of the country. Truecaller has announced the COVID-19 Healthcare Directory so that people quickly find hospitals throughout the country. This feature will not only save the efforts of the people in seeking hospitals but also save them from fake news and advertisements regarding medical assistance.

Why did Truecaller announce the COVID-19 Healthcare Directory?

The rapid growth of the COVID-19 cases in India has posed immense pressure on the health infrastructure. The number of patients that reach hospitals is more than what hospitals can accommodate. Most hospitals are functioning beyond their capacities. Due to an enormous amount of calls, some hospitals have stopped admitting new patients. As a result, several patients lose their lives even before getting admitted to a hospital. The COVID-19 Healthcare Directory announced by Trucaller will help the COVID-19 patients find the nearest hospitals. This will save them from searching for available medical assistance from one hospital to another. This shall also save their time, money, and energy that could be utilised in the patient recovery.

How will the COVID-19 Healthcare Directory of Truecaller work?

Truecaller’s COVID-19 Healthcare Directory will consist of a search button using which users will be able to find the nearest hospitals throughout the country. The company claims that the data stored in the Healthcare Directory will be sourced from the official website of the government of India. Thus, patients can rely on the information provided by the directory.

According to Truecaller, “We decided to make it as easy as possible for everyone in India to find medical care near them. It can be hard to find the right healthcare numbers when you need it most, so we’ve added it to the app”. Users will be able to access the COVID-19 Healthcare Directory in the menu of the Truecaller Android app. It must be noted that the company does not assure the availability of hospitals. The directory will serve as a one-stop source for contacting hospitals quickly.

When will Truecaller release the COVID-19 Healthcare Directory?

The COVID-19 Healthcare Directory is already available in the beta version of the Truecaller app and the users can access it anytime. It must be noted that the feature is currently available only for Android devices. We can expect to appear on the iOS version of the app as well soon. According to Truecaller, “We will be updating it every day and making sure that as many hospital phone numbers from as many areas in India are available”.

Which other companies have come up to provide assistance during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic?

Twitter has added the Advanced Search feature to its platform that will enable the users to use filters to find tweets and hashtags related to the resource they are seeking. For instance, if a user is looking for a vacant bed in a hospital. He can use the advanced search option to find the tweets related to the vacant beds during a specific period and related hashtags. According to Twitter, “Advanced Search https://twitter.com/search-advanced can help you filter for fields like a specific hashtag, time period, or Tweets from a particular account”.

Samsung Galaxy M42 5G Vs OnePlus Nord: What’s the difference?
Today in India, Samsung introduced its first 5G smartphone in its Galaxy M range. The company has launched Samsung Galaxy M42 5G that is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor. The phone also includes a waterdrop-style notch display and a quad-camera setup. The device is put up against the OnePlus Nord in the mid-range price segment. So today we have compared both these smartphones in order to highlight the differences and similarities between them. Our comparison of Samsung Galaxy M42 5G Vs OnePlus Nord will surely ease out the choice for you.

Display

Processor

Samsung Galaxy M42 5G: Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC OnePlus Nord: Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G

Rear camera(s)

Samsung Galaxy M42 5G: 48-megapixel GM2 primary sensor. In addition to this, there is a secondary 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5-megapixel macro sensor, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor.  OnePlus Nord: Sony IMX586 48-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.75 aperture along with optical image stabilisation (OIS). In addition to this, there is a secondary 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with a field of view (FoV) of 119 degrees and f/2.25 aperture.

Price

Samsung Galaxy M42 5G: Rs 21,999 OnePlus Nord: Rs 24,999 

Verdict 

We have compared all the specs of both smartphones. Firstly, the more storage capacity you have the more you will be able to use it to store pictures, apps, videos etc which OnePlus Nord does not offer. It comes in a single storage option only, whereas M42 offers 128GB of inbuilt storage with expansion options. The OnePlus smartphone has no external memory card support compared with Samsung. In addition to this Galaxy M42 5G comes with a bigger battery capacity than its challenger. On the flipside, Nord offers a sharper and crisper screen as it has 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution whereas its opponent comes with 720×1600 pixels of resolution. Although both of these phones have a similar rear camera set up, OnePlus Nord offers dual front cameras for selfies. So in the end what matters the most is which phone out of the two offers the best features at the best pricing and in this case Samsung Galaxy M42 5G sweeps the board as it is priced less than OnePlus Nord. And most importantly Samsung is right now offering it an introductory price of Rs 19,999. So, that is our pick out of the two.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.
