Tame Apple press gets its knickers in a knot

The Tame Apple Press is incandescent with rage that Qualcomm is not worried about Apple’s new Apple's M1 Macs.

If you believe them, Qualcomm should be panicking as Apple has clearly knocked it out of the chip race and it is destined to be an afterthought.

What seems to have got them cross was that Qualcomm executives brushed off a question about Apple's new M1-based Macs during a question and answer session at the company's Snapdragon Summit.

PCMag.com's lead mobile analyst calls Qualcomm "a little too unbothered by Apple's M1 Macs" and pointed out that Qualcomm announced a new flagship smartphone chipset but no upgrades to its year old chips for PCs.

“In general, reviews of Qualcomm-powered laptops such as the Microsoft Surface Pro X have celebrated the devices' long battery life, but lamented problems with third-party apps that were originally coded for Intel processors. That stands in stark contrast to Apple's new M1-based Macs, which don't seem to be slowed down as badly by older software”, he wrote.
