"A Mac with Apple Silicon inside isn't just noticeably faster than their Intel counterparts; it's capable of a few other exclusive features too. Here is what an Apple Silicon-based Mac can do that the Intel Macs can't."
"but as Apple can control every facet of these chips, there is currently a subset of Mac features exclusive only to Apple's chipsets."
Let's not kid ourselves. All features listed (even running iOS/iPadOS apps) are well within the realms of the computing power available on Intel-based Macs. Hell, Dragon NaturallySpeaking did on-device dictation what, over 20 years ago? Surely not as well as Siri today, but then again, you can't compare a few-hundred-MHz Pentium Pro or Pentium II to current chips (and even older ones).
It's not a technical issue, but merely a marketing strategy of differentiation to move new product. And Apple is (or at least should be, you never know with governments these days) well within their rights to do so. But don't pretend there's some magical Apple Silicon fairy dust that enables this. It's just good old marketing.
Did they say it was a technical issue or apple silicon "fairy dust"? Nope. I don't even know why I read comments anymore...it's exhausting.
They didn’t literally say it, but the article is written in such a way that they suggest it. It’s creating a sentiment that was commented on.
