September or October 2020. Maybe for the low ends for August.
There are ARM versions of pretty much every major OS in common use, including windows, no intrinsic reason why bootcamp would go away.
Whaaat? I didn't watch all of WWDC but I can't imagine they gave that a spotlight!My favorite new feature of IOS 14 is in the Chinese version and that made me laugh.
You can just enter your license plate number and your iPhone will tell you if the government will allow you to visit the city! Aren't human rights so wonderful?
Apple would never give a "solid commitment" to support X of years because that would draw out the transition.
Sure, new Intel iMacs will come out this year. Because people still need computers today to do work based on x86 programs. But that doesn't mean a $2,000 iMac will slow down the entire transition.
Sorry but the transitions were VERY jumpy and jarring especially in the beginning. Maybe not for 120hz screens or 4K but for us on 1080p and 60hz still borderline seizure causing.
Thanks, I've been making the transition already for the last couple years. This is the final nail in the coffin of my hopes that Apple will ever make Macs again that I will care about. Mac OS has been the frog in the slowly boiling pot ever since the first iPhone came out, and it's clear Apple has every intention of forcing everyone into iOS and ditching Mac OS completely. Just look at Big Sur's new interface and the features they touted.
I'm actually a RISC fanboy so ARM doesn't scare me, but unless the whole rest of the industry ditches Intel, this is a dumb mistake and users will suffer for it.
I watched it on my MBA. It was as smooth as Netflix. Maybe it was your connection?
They just released a Mac Pro for dev use, I would expect it to be supported for at least 6-8 years, not to mention there are still Intel machines in the pipeline and they are predicting a 2 year transition. I wouldnt be surprised if we see Intel support through 2028 at least, maybe even into 2030 or longer
Not that it belongs at WWDC, but would have loved if they confirmed Apple Card (and Cash) was coming to Canada.
If it can run Shadows of the Tomb Raider in 1080p smoothly it can emulate Win10 with no slow down I'd imagine.
The rest of the industry is already on ARM. There are an order of magnitude more devices with ARM architecture sold per year than with x86 architecture.
Actually, I feel the same.Not a big of fan of this total iOS-fication. They might sucess preparing pro apps ready, but I wonder how with hardware? Existing PCie device and capture cards, graphic tablet, and previously cross compatible peripheral now would face unknown fate.
no my connection was fine, AppleTV 4.
What I mean by jumpy or jarring is not the connection interfering .. just the rapid jump in transitions from scene to scene - Tim's transitions were sudden, like Frame to Frame. One moment he's on stage front and centre and next somewhere else. It's like talking about Apple silicon in one sentence, and in the same paragraph jumping about Wizard of Oz that's what I'm referring to.
Then release iMessage for Android. You're delusional if you think these new features are great when they completely fall flat unless everyone is on iPhone. Who is everyone that wanted this? Widgets? The crap that failed in Windows 8 and Android? I have spent time setting up a full screen photos for the people who call me. Will it be an option to keep fullscreen? No. Typical Apple. Tell me how to use my device and who to talk to (only other Apple users).
Say that with my current gear which help me life. At this time it still cross compatible, but not sure compatibility guaranteed under ARM. Things like driver support is real pain.
Maybe when it comes to smartphones, I don't think Catalina would work that well on 2006 Mac mini, while I can still run Windows 10 on said Mac mini.
I don't use windows on my macs, I have no need for it, but I guess many people do, I hope for them it will be as fast or close to as fast as running it natively, only then the moaning will stop.
“Osborning” means to inadvertently kill sales of your existing product by touting the next version coming in the future. Osborne went out of business before that new model could ever be released, since sales of the old version tanked.
I'm not talking about phones.
They showed a graphic, that in itself should say enough.
I will try to find the part in the video, will post it shortly.
