Apple tested Macs using ARM chips

These include a large screen iMac, a low-cost Mac Mini and a MacBook 13-inch screen.

According to a recent source of MacBidouille, Apple is testing some Macs using ARM processor chips instead of Intel chips today. These include a large screen iMac, a low-cost Mac Mini and a MacBook 13-inch screen. All run 4-core ARM chips and support 64-bit computing. The use of ARM chips promises to help Mac computers have a better battery life, although today's Intel chip machines for batteries are extremely good, about 12 hours.

With the MacBook, in addition to running ARM chips, the machine is also thought to own a new keyboard design, making it possible for Apple to integrate larger trackpads to improve gesture control (gesture) in OS X. The source added that the development of the above Mac ARM models was at a near-complete stage and that Apple could in fact introduce it to the market as well as provide a route to sell the machine.

However, for some reason Apple is still hiding its plans with ARM within the company, and it is highly likely that these devices will not appear at the upcoming WWDC programmer meeting 2014.
