(They might use this as a low power co-processor where low power/always on process run on arm and heavy stuff runs on intel) The end goal of this transition is possibly the ability to run macOS on ARM (at least partially) because of Apple’s own chip being on their timetable and tailored to their demand.

No more sub-pixel antialiasing on non-retina display.Īlso, it reached a point where they got enough frameworks/components replaced with iOS counterparts that make it possible to use UIKit framework (at least partially) (this has been going on since Lion starting with QTKit, quartz and few others being deprecated and replaced) Metal only windowserver (byebye old gpus)ĭepecrated opengl, opencl, and 32-bit apps (still have them, but you won’t have those in the version after this) More useful features (better quicklook, desktop stacks, built in screen record, continuity cam, etc)Ĭomes with bootrom update (since high sierra) if ur model needs it.Ĭons: Privacy permission sandboxing break some apps. OS components are less buggy (ex: no more opengl bugs)

Dark themes are nice (for supported apps).
