Easy fix, bring macOS to non Apple hardware.
- mafro 10y agoI don't think "easy" is the way to describe that endeavour. Ever tried a hackintosh?
- WaltPurvis 10y ago>> Ever tried a hackintosh? Yes, I've been running a hackintosh for several years now. It works flawlessly. What point are you trying to make?
- mahyarm 10y agoYears ago it wasn't working perfectly :D
- swozey 10y agoHackintoshing is incredibly easy now. You can grab a build off of reddit that works perfectly. The issues lie in when you use hardware that has never been in an Apple, for instance there's no Kaby Lake support until Apple releases something with KB. The most common issues if you don't buy all Intel/Nvidia are the wifi and BT which can be alleviated by $10 usb receivers. Touch screen of course is a no go. Clover, the latest Hackintosh installer is very easy.
- stock_toaster 10y agoI think we will see Apple runing macOS on their own ARM chips long before we see them opening up for whitebox installs.
- snom380 10y agoI think that's one thing that would actually make sense. Maybe they're more open to the idea now that they're publicly supporting and advertising third party displays. (edit:spelling)
- __david__ 10y agoWhat? When have they not supported 3rd party displays?
- snom380 10y agoThey've always supported third party displays, but this is the first time that I recall that they've included third party displays in an Apple event / presentation. To me, it's a pretty sure sign that an external 5K display from Apple isn't immediately forthcoming (else they would have announced it now and not mentioned the LG display).

- __david__ 10y agoThey tried that before, it wasn't a win for them in the end.
