The new chips are 5-6 times faster than the old Intel ones while costing the same. Currently, consumers (and developers) spend their first months using brand-new Macbooks. It took years of preparation because the migration from Intel to ARM is a long and costly process involving many steps and restrictions. In essence, they took the ARM technology used in iPhones and iPads, improved it, and introduced it to the Mac making a huge step towards the unification of their platforms.

This shift to greater self-sustainment was a historic event that they’ve been preparing for during the last several years. Last November, Apple resealed the lineup of their newest Macs that supported CPUs of their own making based on a totally different architecture called ARM or Apple Silicon as opposed to Intel’s x86 processors that you can find in the earlier models of Mac devices. Why and how can this tech revolution be beneficial for app developers and business owners? Some (more) backgroundįirst, let’s see what all the fuss is about. There’s a massive buzz on the net about the new Mac’s performance and speed, but let’s look at this subject from a different perspective.

You can now run your iPhone and iPad apps on Mac with Apple M1 & macOS Big Sur! #AppleEvent #MacBook #Macs #ARMMacs /aoVzYXYYSb What’s important to know though is that the introduction of new ARM-based processors, now common for both mobile and desktop devices, means that you can now run iOS apps on Macs natively, making these apps truly universal. The Mac made an epic comeback last year equipped with the newest M1 chips, making up with record sales for the years of getting neglected in favor of its iPhone cousin. There had been situations when developers had to give up on creating an extra Mac version of their iOS app or weren’t happy enough with the results when they did pursue the idea. The iOS development, thus, is in higher demand, it has superior tools, and is more cost-effective. There are many, many more iPhones out there, they dominate Apple’s revenues so that’s where most of their attention goes. The macOS market share is much smaller than the iOS one. How Apple’s M1 Chips Make macOS Development Much Less Costly
