> The catch, as usual with new Apple features, is the hardware requirements. This only works on M4 chips and iPhone 16 devices, which means you’re out of luck if you’re still developing on older hardware. It’s frustrating but not surprising. Apple has a habit of using new developer tools to push hardware upgrades.
This seems unfair. Isn’t there a pretty good likelihood that the number of performance counters in the CPU (or whatever) simply don’t exist in the production versions of the previous CPUs?
