In retrospect however this move made total sense. When they will start deploying custom silicon next year every application that run on Catalina will be able to run on the new ARM Macs.
From Apple perspective it's way better that Catalina take all the blame and not the new products and the technology they are betting on for the next decade.
Also developers that care about MacOS platform were even more incentivized to finally upgrade to 64-bits after the 10+ years deprecation warning so that more Apps will be ready on day one for custom silicon.
- simonh 6y agoThe deprecation warnings started in 2018 with 10.13.4, not 10+ years ago.
- Twisell 6y agoWhile maybe true 64bits was available for more than 10 year with Snow Leopard (10.6) being the last OS supporting 32bits architecture (and dropping PowerPC support At the same time). So let's say you could have seen this coming. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Snow_Leopard https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Snow_Leopard
