  • Why the Mac's migration to Apple Silicon is bigger than ARM

    Mac users will be stuck using dumbed down iOS software for a long time I feel.  
    Here's news for you, Rain. Very few new apps are written for macOS (or Windows). Apps today are developed for the web, iOS and Android.
    I don't believe this notion that Mac will be dumbed down. With a common platform -- it will make it easier for developers to make applications across Apple's platforms.  That ease will attract developers.  There is nothing about Apple's chips that would indicate applications will have to be dumbed down.  MS is porting the full Office suite to Apples platform.

    Just because they could run MacOS using an iPhone's hardware, doesn't make it a good idea.
    This is not about convergence at all. It is about either running iOS or MacOS. The fundamental problem with MacOS is the lack of touchscreen support.
    Once MacOS gets touchscreen support, you won't need iOS anymore.

    Samsung DeX is the correct way to go: you use the same OS in both modes, you share exactly the same files, the same apps and you have a perfect seamless switch between both. Android is a real capable OS because it is basically Linux.
    Since Office, Outlook and Teams for Android, you have everything you need in DeX, including real desktop sharing, connecting a second monitor, running all Android apps. Actually everything that people are excited about in this discussion. Oh, I forgot ... it is from Samsung and therefore Apple fans cannot admit that it is good.

    "it is from Samsung and therefore Apple fans cannot admit that it is good." => The problem with Dex isn't that it's from Samsung, it's that it's a s**t implementation.

    "Once MacOS gets touchscreen support, you won't need iOS anymore." => You mean IF macOS gets touch-screen support.  Apple has been pretty adamant of being against that idea.
    "The problem with Dex isn't that it's from Samsung, it's that it's a s**t implementation"

    You are wrong. It works just fine and is pretty mature. In our household it is “the computer” of two: one using Note 10+ and one using Tab S4.. I assume you have never worked with it, correct? You should not express your opinion on something if you don’t know it,
    I like the Dec concept the problem is Android apps are. It that good.
