Bloomberg is reporting that Apple is getting ready to announce its first Macs with the new Silicon Chip that was announced earlier this year sometime in November, 2020.
Apple's Silicon chip will be the company's first in-house processor chip since announcing the switch from their G4 Chip to Intel back in the late 2000's, and promises to deliver supreme performance for its customers.
Bloomberg is reporting that Apple will be using its retail outlets as a way to get orders to customers faster, which would be a big change from its current model - shipping from different warehouses throughout the world or directly from China.
Items that would be in stock would be sent to the customer as soon as possible, now that Apple has over 300 stores across the U.S. and Canada.
Apple told its retail stores the following:
The move to shipping from stores has been popularized by some grocery stores in recent years and has expanded to other retailers. The practice reduces costs, potentially improving product margins, and is beneficial to the environment.
Depending on the item, when a store receives an order, that store will be able to ship the item via FedEx or UPS directly to the customer, sometimes providing next-day delivery.
