Apple is working on nine new Macs that feature its imminent M2 processors, as per Bloomberg Mark Gurman. Many rumors came about Apple releasing the Mac Studio and its statement that the M1 Ultra will be the last chip in its existing generation lineup.

Bloomberg is not predicting the studio replacement, but it reports that most of the Mac models will get an upgradation. According to Gurman, there is evidence of an M2-powered MacBook Air with a ten core GPU in contrast to all previous predictions that a redesigning Air would still have an M1 and an entry-level M2 MacBook pro with all the exact specifications. The 14 and 16-inch MacBook also makes an appearance in addition to the new Mac Mini and Mac Pro, which are all next-generation Apple silicon.

A Mac mini with an existing generation M1 Pro also cropped up, even though it is difficult to predict whether it is good to introduce in the market with Mac Studio. The high-end machines will have M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, with the Max having 12 CPU cores and 38 graphics cores. Unfortunately, Bloomberg did not include any details about the breakdown of effectiveness and other performance cores. The M2 Pro also shows an option for Mac Mini, and Gurman predicted that the Mac Pro would have an inheritor to the M1 Ultra.

Interestingly, the initial MacBook Pro might stick around and still barely discriminated from the Air. However, it is predicted that Apple will gradually discontinue its 13-inch mode as it seems like an unnecessary medium between the Air and the 14-inch pro. It is also confused about its touch bar, and it is still in doubt whether its successor will have one of it or not.

According to Gurman, all this information came from developer logs, which showed that Apple has been testing all of its new computers by using third-party apps. While it is not hard to predict that Apple will be working on its next generation of chips, it is pretty exciting to observe evidence of their existence out in the wild and obtain all details. You will not have to wait long for an official announcement of these computers. Bloomberg reported that “a minimum two Macs” will launch towards the middle of the year. You might not know that WWDC will be on the calendar for June 6th.

WhatsApp will now facilitate large group chats for definite topics or communities like schools or apartment buildings.

WhatsApp is adding new features that will allow users to increase their friend circle or grow to dislike their circle of friends. It is the dealer’s choice. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the planned feature known as communities in a post on Facebook, conveying that messaging is now a primary part of our digital lives for deeper interaction.

Zuckerberg said that “these communities rolled out to some of the WhatsApp users, and it will be completely available for all users in upcoming months. ” The new application feature facilitates users to make posts in selected group chats devoted to some specified communities or organizations. But like regular WhatsApp conversations, you will not get access to the phone numbers of all in the chat. Will Cathcart, head of WhatsApp, said in an interview with The Verge that all communications would remain encrypted for the name of the chat and its predominant community.

This new feature of Whatsapp is like Nextdoor, Facebook messenger, and Slack, all three rolled into one feature. Meta gave some examples in its recent announcement post where multiple varied chats were present in the same apartment building. Another example showed work-based chats for various teams under the umbrella of a benevolent id group. Similarly, one picture shows a group of school parents with chat rooms dedicated to kids of various grades.

According to the post published, these communities will make it very easy for a school principal to bring every parent of the school together for sharing all must-read updates and set up groups about specified classes, voluntary requirements, and extracurricular activities.

For anyone who has spent some time with parents groups on Facebook, you can expect abuse, misinformation, and name-calling, same as any online community where kids are involved. In a Facebook post, Zuckerberg said that community messaging would have all basic protocols like one-to-one messaging and more extensions. So it is easy to communicate with groups of people for doing all things together. He further added that features on WhatsApp will soon be transferred to Instagram and Facebook.

Furthermore, the post also showed that it would allow 2GB of file sharing, emoji reactions, 32-person audio calls, and admins ability to delete posts. All these new features will be available over time. But it has not been mentioned either in the post or by Zuckerberg about the complete timeline about how the feature will get integrated into all existing applications or they will allow the already existing group chats to grow into communities chats.
