MacBook: Intel (

INTC) is looking to have its new 14nm Broadwell processor out by this holiday season, 9to5Mac notes. Why does this matter to Apple fans? Because the 14nm Broadwell processor won’t have a fan. Rumors surrounding the new MacBook claim that it will use a processor that doesn’t have a fan. This could mean that a new MacBook that takes advantage of the fanless processor could also be set to come out before or during the 2014 holiday season.

iPad: According to sources close to the matter, Apple  suppliers have started production on the next generation of iPads, reports Bloomberg. The source close to the matter claims that a new 9.7-inch version of the iPad has gone into production. The source also claims that a new iPad mini could be out by the end of the year. The larger of the iPads may suffer from restricted production due to issues with a new, rumored anti-reflection coating that would make the device easier for users to read.
