Kuo: Apple will release its first ARM-based Mac in the next 12 to 18 months, using an Apple designed chip instead of an Intel processor
these kinds of apps take time to port, often with lengthy external testing. Can't just ship Chris Maddern / @chrismaddern : Apple may not always “love you back” with things like long-term support and backwards compatibility.... but I LOVE their ability to make bold moves. They are literally the ONLY company in the world that could make ARM processors mainstream. https://9to5mac.com/... @nash076 : The ability to run Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp has become vital to serious Mac users. Mac's current OS is based on x86, which means it and the software it runs requires Intel/AMD chips. This? This would break ALL of the compatibility. https://www.macrumors.com/... Steven Sinofsky / @stevesi : “I do not think x86 apps running in emulation on ARM Macs are going to perform well. I wonder, really, if Apple will even offer x86 emulation at all.” — @daringfireball // Agree. It's more than recompile—it is recompile to Mac app store. And touch? https://daringfireball.net/... Pankaj Mishra / @pankajontech : Amid all the backlash and startup mis-adventures, SoftBank's big bet on ARM underscores why it's still among the best in tech PE kind of long shots https://9to5mac.com/... Adam Nash / @adamnash : Will 2021 be the year we move from Intel-based Macs to ARM-based? Having some fond memories of the old PowerPC vs. Pentium fights from the 1990s. 🎉 https://9to5mac.com/... Bruce Nkn / @zbruceli : This actually makes sense: Apple Mac adopting ARM processors. “Mobile First” has created the fastest innovation cycle in computing, with mobile CPU and mobile OS leading the way. https://9to5mac.com/... Steve Troughton-Smith / @stroughtonsmith : It is not outside of the realm of possibility that Apple could provide an ARM version of macOS for developers to temporarily flash onto iPads to prepare for a Mac transition next year. Even easier if the next iPad has a decent keyboard/trackpad case @mytechmusings : Well expected development for the people who are closely following @Arm developments in recent years.. with #windowsonarm and #Macosonarm It will be interesting to see how competition between @Intel & @Arm will share the personal computing space @Microsoft @MacRumors https://twitter.com/... Jeff Benjamin / @jeffbenjam : Probably more excited for this than anything in the foreseeable future. So many advantages over Intel-based systems. And the disadvantages of A-series-powered Macs will dissolve over time, unlike the current disadvantages with Intel-based hardware. Bring it on. https://twitter.com/... David Ruddock / @rdrv3 : Big if true. But I have to imagine this will result in a fragmenting of the Mac ecosystem for years to come. Getting pros off x86 just isn't viable yet. https://twitter.com/... Seth Weintraub / @llsethj : Let's get this over with already https://twitter.com/...
That would make this WWDC the last WWDC before ARM Macs ship. If there is going to be a Developer Transition Kit this time round, now's the time. Apple gave a six-months heads-up for the Intel switch, provided SDKs and prototype hardware. What will happen this time? https://twitt…
Without Intel emulation, Apple's new ARM Macs would likely launch without Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign, MS Office, the 3D modeling suites, and other major gaps in so many workflows — these kinds of apps take time to port, often with lengthy external testing. Can't just ship
