- saghm 4y agoOh wow, that is a big change! Even though I know Microsoft influenced and pushed the UEFI standard, my first macbook was my first introduction to EFI booting (since I had used legacy BIOS on my PCs up until college), so I've always associated it with Apple hardware.
- dottedmag 4y agoM1 Macs have more in common with iPhones than with Intel Macs. See https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3ABoot https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3ABoot for example.
- still_grokking 4y agoSome snarky people would even say that modern Macs are in fact iPhones, just with a different form factor. The unification of the operating systems for both devices continues with every macOS release. (And that's not only about the unification of the naming scheme…)
