Apple Inc. introduced on Nov. 11 a MacBook Air notebook and other machines with the first central processor designed in-house for Macs, a move that will tie the company’s computers and iPhones closer together technologically.

The new chip, called the M1, marks a shift away from Intel Corp. technology that has driven the electronic brains of Mac computers for nearly 15 years.
