aieronimo said: I have a late 2015 iMac 27-inch, which is listed as one of the supported models for Sidecar, and I am pretty sure that it does not have HEVC encode/decode in hardware. I think hardware support for HEVC encode/decode started with…

The listed models have one feature in common: all have a Skylake or newer processor. Skylake adds hardware encode/decode support for HEVC, so this might just be a case of the Sidecar feature being implemented with HEVC rather than H.264 to reduce b…

More points of suspicion: "MacBookPro14,3" is the model identifier of the existing mid 2017 15-inch model. I doubt a new model with DDR4 memory and a newer CPU architecture would have the same model identifier. If it is using DDR4 it must be desktop…

AppleInsider said: The next update, 10.3.2, is already in its second beta and appears to cut off support for 32-bit apps and hardware, meaning that 10.3.1 could be the last version of iOS for devices like the 5c. The second beta of 10.3.2 …
