They should gradually appear in the basic configurations of iMac computers and MacBook Pro. Apple in addition, it will obtain important patents and algorithms, thanks to which it will be able to tune the memory exactly according to the requirements of the devices in which they will be used. So the acquisition is not only important for Apple, but especially for ordinary users, who will receive significantly higher quality and more powerful memories than before. All mobile devices including MacBooktogether with the iMac and Mac mini They will probably switch to Anobit memory next year.
