apple's wwdc event just ended and wow i've got to tell you guys i was totally
blown away by some of the things that apple showed us and no it wasn't craig
federighi running in slo-mo we're talking things like the new m2 macbook
air the lack of a mac pro and where the heck is the mac mini as well as some
awesome new features that i totally wasn't expecting so in this video i'm
going to talk about the leaks and predictions that i got totally wrong i'm
sorry guys like the whole white bezels and white keyboard thing but i did get
some things right including the m2 chips performance i can't believe i got it
that close anyway let's get right into the video now for the last few months
i've been giving you guys bits and pieces of my predictions on the m2
macbook air as well as the m2 chip and in february i actually worked with
renders by shylesh to create these renders of the macbook air and i'm
actually very happy with how close we got first of all we got the whole white
keyboard white bezels wrong unfortunately i also thought that the
keyboard well would match the bezels but it's actually not because it's color
matched there's no macbook air text on the little chin area so i got that right
but i thought it would be on the bottom engraved just like the macbook pro but
it's not there is nothing on the bottom i'm also very happy that i got the
rounded bottom design like the new macbook pro so that is just exactly how
i thought it would be and i told you guys it would be much thinner just big
enough for the ports to fit so that was correct as well as the four little
stands just like the macbook pro now what i got wrong was that i thought
there would be one thunderbolt port on each side but no they're both on the
same side right next to the max safe 3 that we all expected but what i really
love is that apple color matched the mac save 3 cable and it's braided it's just
beautiful now i also was telling you guys that apple would give us better
battery life with the m2 chip even though it's going to be significantly
thinner which is crazy because there's a 20 percent reduction in volume and it's
literally less than half an inch thick i cannot believe they got it that thin
that might even be thinner than i personally expected now i personally
thought that there would be more color options for the macbook air and i
thought that apple would take the subtle route with a very light blue but they
actually went the opposite way they gave us a standard silver space gray but they
gave us this new champagne-ish starlight which mark german got totally right as
well as the dark blue midnight which is actually darker than the space gray
which is very very interesting and i absolutely love that color but one of my
predictions that i am very very happy that i got correct was the actual
macbook lineup because i was telling you guys for a while that the m1 macbook air
would stick around for around the same price and yes it's still a thousand
dollars and the m2 macbook air 11.99 so 1200
and of course 1300 for the m2 macbook pro and then of course we have the 14
and 16 inch but i absolutely can't believe how close i was with my
performance predictions for the m2 chip
but before we jump right into that i want to ask you guys to click subscribe
because we're going to be getting our hands on these new macbook pros and
comparing them to basically all of the other macbooks and as you guys know we
do the most in-depth and detailed comparisons out there so please
subscribe and by the way to celebrate the new m2 chip we actually worked with
basic apple guy on twitter to create this new m2 chip design so definitely
check that out and if you want to support us be sure to pick up one of
those because we have sweatshirts or should i say hoodies and we have
t-shirts and be sure to use the coupon code m2 chip with no space for 20 off on
all of our merch for a limited time now jumping right into the performance i
made a video back in december talking about the different scenarios for the m2
chip now i had two scenarios the first one is that the m2 is based on the a15
chip and the second scenario is that it's gonna be based on the a16 chip with
the new four nanometer process now apple just let us know that it's based on the
a15 which is second generation five nanometer all right now according to
apple the cpu is up to 18 faster and the gpu is up to 35
faster so as you can see in my predictions right here in this
screenshot you can see that the m2 chip based on a15 i predicted
87.38 now if i take out the calculator and i multiply the m1 chip performance
by 1.18 which is 18
look at that 8 800 i'm literally within 62 points so i'm so happy that i got
that close for the multi-core cpu performance of course based on the a15
now let's go over to the metal graphics performance so apple said the m2 is 35
faster in terms of the gpu because of the 10 cores well let's add
35 to the performance of the m1 ship
and as you can see 28 579.5 look at that i am within around 300
points in terms of the metal gpu performance so i'm very happy about that
and we're definitely gonna have to test the actual performance when we get them
in so don't forget to subscribe now getting back to the m2 macbook air there
were a couple things that really really surprised me first of all i was not
expecting it to go up to 24 gigabytes of ram that was a total shocker to me now
on top of that i wasn't expecting apple to give the m2 chip a hundred gigabytes
per second of memory bandwidth which is 50 more than the m1 especially since
they're still only using two ram chips on the m2 chip which means really good
things for the m2 pro m2 max and m2 ultra that are coming later but one
thing that really blew my mind was that they were adding the pro res video
encode and decode engines and not only that but 8k prores as well as 8k hevc
and h.264 which i was not expecting at all but in terms of the downsides i
can't believe we still only have wi-fi 6 and bluetooth 5.0 and on top of that it
still only supports one external display which i got wrong because i didn't think
apple would do that again but they did so it looks like they're keeping that
limitation there just so that the higher end macbooks
will be there to support more displays and now with that said let's pivot over
to the mac mini because we were expecting a new redesigned m2 mac mini
in a thinner form factor and design and we obviously didn't get that at wwdc
now personally i think there's a chance that apple is sticking to just one
redesigned product per event because if we go all the way back to april of 2021
apple redesigned the imac and it was by itself and then in the fall of 2021 we
had the 14 and 16 inch macbook pros redesigned that was just by itself then
going up to march we had the new mac studio which is a new design by itself
and now at wwdc we have the new macbook air redesign by itself because the
macbook pro uses the old design so what if apple's preparing another event in
the fall potentially in november to show us the redesign of the m2 mac mini now i
think that would make sense because the mac mini is cheap right now it's only
700 and we're expecting this new m2 mac mini
to replace the current m1 at around the same price point so what if apple wants
to sell these more expensive m2 macbooks first before they release the m2 mac
mini in the fall so that they can get as much money as possible from these
laptops and then they can show off the desktop mac mini later with its new
redesign as well but in terms of the mac pro we are all very disappointed because
i was hoping for a teaser kind of like a one more thing thing for the mac pro and
now that we didn't get anything about it i'm starting to worry that we might
actually not get it for a while because ming chaquel was saying the mac pro the
imac pro and the mac mini might not come until 2023
and that was a very bold prediction because everybody was expecting the mac
pro this year and there are so many leaks of it actually coming out so let
me share with you guys what i think happened well i think it could have
gotten delayed potentially because of the hardware flaw that we exclusively
talked about recently on twitter where there is an issue where the m1 ultra is
scaling very very badly because of a limitation with the tlb or kind of like
the buffer memory so what if that led apple to delay that version until they
could get that fixed and base it off of the m2 family it shifts instead of the
m1 maybe that happened and what if we don't get it until next year well
there's still a chance that this fall apple comes out and boom they give us
the mac pro because technically apple's two-year transition for apple silicon
began in november of 2020 when we got the m1 chip max so it could finish in
november with a mac pro reveal which i tweeted about back in january so
hopefully that happens but there is a chance that if there were a lot of
issues apple could just delay it but let's hope for the best but talking
about the m2 macbook air i think apple absolutely nailed it especially since it
is incredibly thin and beautiful so i think apple's going to sell a ton of
these and i don't think anybody should buy the new m2 macbook pro don't buy
that it's a waste of money with the old design you're gonna want this
macbook air so with that said hopefully you enjoyed this video and if you did go
