Well that big impact will only materialize if Apple can convince developers to make apps for this platform, something they have not been doing well as it is. (with intel offerings)
They need to stop ceding the desktop game market to windows/amd/intel. When Catalina dropped it remove a lot of software, productivity, utility, and games, had many examples where they no longer ran. Worse some developers just wrote off the platform.
Even Apple's M1 debut could not line up more than two or three known developers. Most of it was from developers people had to resort to google for and even then some didn't show up in search lists.
No, Apple's problem with the Windows platform is and has always been software. Apple never seemed keen on pushing the Mac as a platform with iPhone and iPad being the focus on so many levels. Now that they have a truly impressive offering we have to hope they go recruiting developers to the platform because Rosetta won't be here forever and it doesn't solve the availability issue.
- valuearb 6y agoIf 32 bit devs wrote off the platform, good riddance to them.
- klelatti 6y agoAdding up to 1.8m (!!!) iOS and iPad apps (including games) to the platform was probably one of the biggest changes as a result of the M1.
- culopatin 6y agoI wish I was a more knowledgeable developer because I see an enormous opportunity to fill those gaps.
