Apple One More Thing event: Tech giant Apple is set to host its ‘One More Thing’ event later in the day. This will be the first event of this kind where the company is expected to unveil its MacBook models based on Apple's own silicon. Apple announced its plans to transition to its in-house chips over Intel processors at WWDC 2020 earlier this year. However, the hardware is yet to be showcased.

Many tipped Apple to unveil the new laptops during the iPhone 12 launch earlier this year. But, the company stuck to the new smartphones. The forthcoming Apple event is the third in a series of announcements from the tech major.

Apple One More Thing event: What to expect  

The tech giant is expected to unveil new laptops based on the ARM silicon. This likely means that the event won't reveal anything related to iPad, Apple Watch or iPhone. At WWDC 2020, Apple confirmed its plans to go with its in-house, ARM-based silicon for the next-generation of Mac machines. That move has, however, been heavily rumoured for quite some years. 

According to a recent report by Bloomberg, Apple is boosting the production of its new 13-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models as well as 13-inch MacBook Air. The smaller models are said to be ahead in production and two of them are likely to be shown off at today's event. The MacBook models are also said to have no visible changes — apart from the new silicon that could be based on the A14 Bionic chip powering the latest iPhone models. 

The new MacBook models are said to be manufactured in China.
