Not Anti Apple but like the Windows 11 hardware/software changes, Apple is changing from Intel to more cell phone and iPad like chipsets. These are faster in early reports but may necessitate new hardware and software for Macs. What, is yet to be determined.

This article is by Adrian, the Apple guy/user/fan at ZDNET.

Excerpt:

"July 14, 2021

There's no point in spending your hard-earned cash on products that are going to be updated soon.

Let's cut to the chase -- Apple is clever when to comes to managing its product lineup. A regular sprinkling of new or updated products keeps everything looking fresh, even though some are long overdue for an update.

Don't let that fool you.

Must read: These three simple tips will keep your iPhone safe from hackers.

Here is a list of Apple products you shouldn't buy right now.

  • The entire iPhone 12 lineup: My ZDNet writing buddy David Gewirtz has done a fantastic job of explaining why. But put simply the yearly update cycle is pretty much fixed in stone, and we know new updates are coming in September/October.
  • iPhone SE: It's over a year old. It was great when it was released, but the price tag now is too high, especially as there may be an upgrade (or it could be eliminated).
  • iPad Mini: An upgrade is incoming, and it seems like it will be a big one, so hold onto your pennies. 
  • MacBook Pro: Big talk of an Apple Silicon upgrade being imminent, so unless you need to replace one urgently, best to hold off for the time being.
  • AirPods: The word on the street is that upgrades are on the way soon. AirPods Pro are probably OK to buy, and the AirPods Max are OK to buy.
  • Apple Watch: Upgrades are likely to land in September, so hold out if you can. 
  • HomePod: No. Mini is OK though.
  • iPod touch: Don't touch that!"
