![]() ![]() When Apple made the transition from PowerPC chips to Intel chips 14 years ago, it had an understandable problem: How to ensure that users buying new Macs wouldn’t be faced within a collection of unusable apps that hadn’t yet been redesigned for the new architecture. So there’s no mistake that under the hood these are going to use the same ultra-powerful architecture as Apple’s iPhone and iPad devices, which should be a huge boon for developers building cross-platform apps, but it’s not going to be without its challenges and growing pains. The current “transition kit” for developers is using the same A12Z chip that’s in Apple’s current 2020 iPad Pro, built into a Mac mini running a pre-release version of macOS Big Sur. Of course, Apple didn’t use the word “ARM” to describe the new chips instead, it’s calling them “Apple Silicon” - at least until it’s ready to announce a more official designation. ![]()
