That was because of missing drivers, or drivers that needed to be modified a bit (like the nvme driver), it had nothing to do with a locked down boot loader.

They are slowly moving things to DriverKit, in each new macOS release they are moving more parts to user-space.

I know, but my mind automatically thought about the latest which contains an A15 for some reason :|

The A-series don't support booting from a third party OS, unless someone found a security issue that can be exploited to make it boot something else it won't be possible to run Linux on it.

That's not needed anymore when using auto-layout, introduced in 10.7 if I remember correctly.

They do, it's written on every iPhone page on apple.com.

Apple already bundles a USB-C to Lighting cable with the iPhones, so every USB-C charger is already good enough.

The change doesn't affect self-updaters, only a app trying to update a different app from a different developer (which can still be done, but with some additional checks I don't remember).

I mean that they could just ship the app on a disk image, and let the user drag it to /Applications or somewhere else.

Nothing is deprecated, they just recommend Swift and SwiftUI for new apps. And while they could deprecate UIKit in ten years or more, C and C++ won't be deprecated any time soon, they just starting working on Swift and C++ bridge too.

Apple introduced a new API in macOS 12.3 to create Core Media IO plug-ins that run out-of-process, this kind of new plug-in works in Safari and FaceTime too (Camo already uses the new API).

No, it's mainly a complex NSCollectionView.

They did in macOS 12.2.

They did, but the new native views are quite buggy, so while it uses less memory, the user experience improvement was minimal. Apple should really stop shipping such buggy softwares.

The OpenGL "driver" on the M1 (and on iOS) is just a wrapper around the Metal API, like MoltenVK is doing for Vulkan.

Apple makes both its browser and its hardware, so it's not really a chicken/egg problem for them. But they are a member of Alliance for Open Media, so maybe this WWDC or next they will announce something.

Until there are enough devices with an av1 hardware decoder, any storage and transmission saving is lost to the higher energy usage and worse battery life for the end user.

Right, but neither Google neither Mozilla wants to support it even if they don't need to pay a cent.

macOS will try to gracefully quit the running apps before shutting down. So if an app doesn't quit, it shows a message. The user could just force quit it from the Apple menu, but I guess not everyone knows how to do it. So the app does

It mostly did. It can open image sequences, trim, cut, export, merge, remove audio or video tracks, display the timecode track. Cutting a piece of a movie is a bit cumbersome, but it can be done (move to the first time, edit -> split cli

I don't know how many, but a good number of frameworks are C++ internally, for example WebKit, the Objective-C runtime itself, IOKit uses a subset of C++, Metal Shading Language is a subset of C++.

Apple is a "Founding Member" of Alliance for Open Media (which doesn't really mean they are actually a founding member). I think Apple main issues with VP9 was that it was a Google codec by all means. Apple already supports F

App Store was rewritten in 10.14 and it no longer uses a Web View for the main content, some Apple ID setting might still be Web Views.

by galad87 5y ago
A lot of Apple apps used to use Web Views on macOS: Messages, Music, TV, App Store, for example. But they have been slowly phased out. Messages in Big Sur, App Store in Mojave, Music and TV in Monterey. Right now they are only a bunch of se
