A lineup of Mac equipped with M1, data transfer problem for Chinese users --opple News
notebook-laptop"This week's Apple News Read" summarizes the news of CNET JAPAN related to Apple.Apple has emphasized the security and privacy of users in the ecosystem of their products and services.
In fact, regarding privacy issues, data is not taken as much as possible, processing in the terminal (for this purpose, we have focused on machine learning processing performance), encrypted data to be stored and communicated, robust devices and services security, etc.I am working on it.
Especially in 2021, the application tracking, which is a tracking function for advertising using the app user identifier by the app, has been changed to a specification that asks users to consent (ATT, Application Tracking Transparency).
Apple has been announced at the WWDC in June 2020, and has been able to test the environment introduced after September, and after six months, has been working on an unusual cautious posture.Nevertheless, Facebook, a major SNS giant, has rebounded that it will damage the business of the advertising industry, appealing to users that "if you want to continue using Facebook and Instagram for free, you want ATT to allow it."
Speaking Up for Small Businesses - About FacebookApple, who has to protect the privacy of the user until he is rubbed with a major SNS company, has pointed out that the New York Times pointed out the attitude that Apple is increasingly concession to the Chinese government in the Chinese market.He criticized that it restricts the privacy and freedom of domestic users.
Originally, data centers are being constructed in China to store Chinese users data to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, which will be completed in June.
The data is encrypted and stored, but the key to unlock it is also stored in China.NTY pointed out that the Chinese government could get user information.This has already been reported, but employees of companies involved in the Chinese government will also operate and manage data centers.
The cause of concessions to the Chinese government is that Apple's value chain depends on China's large part of procurement and manufacturing.In addition, the Chinese market has been significantly increasing its iPhone sales since around 2013, and is still 15 % of sales.It also supported the performance and high stock prices in the Tim Cook system.
However, it is not only Apple that transferred user data to China.Tesla, which manufactures electric vehicles, has also announced that it will transfer data from Chinese users.

Apple has started selling IMAC, which has seven colors with M1 on May 21.It has a sufficient processing performance and a depth that is shorter than laptops, which has a new value for home desktop computers.
With the addition of the iMac this time, Apple can see that the M1 -equipped Mac lineup has been almost completed.M1 is a MacBook Air, a lower model of MacBook Pro 13 inches, lower models of Mac mini, and this time IMAC 21.It was mounted on four Macs, a 24 -inch model that replaced 5 inches.By the way, the latest iPad Pro, which was released at the same time, was also equipped with M1.
The M1 boasts the same processing performance as the 10 -generation 8 -core Intel Core i7 of the Intel version of the 27 -inch iMac, and has succeeded in increasing the performance of the Mac of the entry model by 2 to 5 times.
Nevertheless, the power saving performance has also been greatly improved, and the notebook model such as the MacBook Air has a longer battery duration, and the desktop model like this iMac is based on a simpler exhaust heat design.The realization of a small design has been realized according to the direction of each computer.
If the M1 is a bass line (although it is in a very high -performance category), in the future, a chip will be introduced to achieve the performance of the middle range, and a model that uses it will be updated.It will be.
Specifically, a tip with higher performance than M1 is adopted in the top model of the 13 -inch MacBook Pro, the 16 -inch MacBook Pro, the 27 -inch iMac, and the upper model Mac mini.
Basically, it can be expected that the CPU, GPU number of A14 Bionic, the number of GPU cores, and the capacity of the unified memory will be increased to increase the number of core and memory capacity.
GPU is particularly necessary to strengthen in M1.The M1 is also over 20,000 in the Geekbench 5 METAL score, but the above -mentioned 27 -inch iMac exceeds 37,000, and the upper model AMD Radeon Pro 5700XT reaches 60,000.The MacBook Pro 16 -inch model is also higher than 40,000.
When configuring products with a middle range or higher, it can be seen that Apple Silicon's graphics enhancement is an essential matter.
