Apple officially began its transition to in-house Apple silicon in November 2020 with the release of the M1 chip. The transition was officially completed in June 2023 when Apple unveiled the M2 Ultra-powered Mac Pro, completely eliminating Intel CPUs from their lineup.
The timeline unfolded as follows:
Start (November 2020): Apple released the first Macs powered by the M1 chip: the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini.
Midpoint (2021–2022): Apple expanded the M-series lineup with the high-performance M1 Pro and M1 Max (for MacBook Pros) and the M1 Ultra (for Mac Studio), while rolling out the M2 generation.
Completion (June 5, 2023): At WWDC, Apple announced the M2 Ultra Mac Pro, officially finalizing the transition and phasing out the very last Intel-based Mac.
