The Apple November event for the Apple Silicon MacBook is no longer a rumor, but a reality Through invitations sent to the press, Apple has requested "participation" in a "Special Apple Event from Apple Park" to be held on Tuesday, November 10

As always, Apple will begin this virtual event with an online live stream at 1:00 pm ET / 10:00 am PT, available on YouTube, so everyone can see how Apple's silicon processors are changing the Mac Apple's silicon processors will change the Mac

We learned about the 2020 Apple Silicon Mac at WWDC, Apple's first virtual event of the year There, Apple touted the speed and efficiency benefits of switching from chips made by Intel to processors manufactured by Apple itself Of course, Apple could benefit more in the process by owning the supply chain entirely

The first Apple Silicon MacBook we expect to see is the rumored return of the 12-inch MacBook, which has disappeared from Apple's lineup The ultra-thin, lightweight laptop will be a great opportunity for Apple to showcase how much battery life and portability consumers can gain by moving to its own chips

The 12-inch MacBook is not included in Apple's 2019 or 2020 MacBook updates, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air 2020, and 13-inch MacBook Pro all have controversial The butterfly-switch keyboard was discontinued The last 12-inch MacBook we saw still had the butterfly-switch keyboard, which was notoriously unreliable

Leaks last week suggested that a new 16-inch MacBook Pro could also arrive this winter

It will also be interesting to see what else Apple will announce at the November 10 event Previous virtual product launch events have updated two lines at once: the Apple Watch and iPad in September, and the HomePod mini and iPhone 12 in October

What if we were to speculate that the AirPods Studio is about to launch any day now, and since Apple will be selling a lot of headphones during the holiday season, our guess is that it will now challenge Bose and Sony for the title of best noise-canceling headphones with the new directed at the over-the-ear AirPods
