If you think Apple doesn’t have macOS running on ARM today, then you’re probably missing something.
- dna_polymerase 7y agoI guess it could make lots of sense for them to support ARM and build ARM-based devices, that said I'm not an Apple dev in any capacity so I don't know what's going on internally. But right now there is now ARM-based Apple device running MacOS, is there?
