Apple has unveiled new versions of its iPad Pro and iMac desktop computer, the latest devices to be given the firm’s own design computer chips which offer a performance boost.

The M1 chip, which was announced last year, will see Apple gradually introduce its own silicon to all its computers over the next few years, replacing Intel processors and greatly improving performance, the company claims.
