They fall apart at every occasion/update and you're missing out on most of the Apple ecosystem bonus/online infrastructure, which is a big part of why people buy Apple products. They're also naturally stuck on Intel CPUs and the hardware choice is very limiting.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoAs someone who used to maintain a hackintosh, you can get them to work with iCloud, iMessage, Airdrop, Continuity, etc but you need to set the Mac-faking bits in your bootloader (probably OpenCore) correctly, and you might need to select for particular models of wifi/Bluetooth cards. Not particularly straightforward but plenty doable. From what I can see, the popularity of hackintoshing has dropped steeply with the introduction of M-series macs. The biggest driver of hackintoshing was Apple not selling compelling hardware, and that’s mostly been solved.
