The M1 Macs we’ve seen so far are mainly targeted towards consumer grade customers. We still haven’t seen a “real” new MacBook Pro, a Mac Pro, or an iMac Pro with an M-series chip.

Apple’s developer conference WWDC 2020 started on Monday June 22, and on the first day Apple always delivers a keynote showcasing the most important upcoming software updates and innovations.
