Macbook: Apple to introduce new ARM chips in one of biggest changes in company history, report claims

Apple is set to announce a change to its Mac line-up that will fundamentally alter the nature of the platform, according to a new report. The company will change the chips that power its Macs from Intel to ARM in a decision that will likely be one of the most significant ever to hit the company's products. The new chips will initially come to Apple's laptops in a change that could be announced as soon as this month, Bloomberg reported. The change would allow the computers to drastically improve their speed, battery life and other key parts of their performance, numerous reports have suggested, as well as bringing the computers more in line with Apple's iPhones and iPads, for which it has long made its own chips. The announcement is set to be made at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference or WWDC event, which begins on 22 June, according to the same report.
