“Virtualization will be supported as well.”

And:

“the company showed editing in Final Cut Pro with three 4K ProRes videos playing at once, and applying effects like titles and lens flare in real time during playback.”

As a long-time Mac user it pains me to say this - but to me this looks like just another trick from Apple to force millions of people to buy new computers and all their software.

The reality is that the MacOS is a fully mature operating system that cannot be improved, so Apple is now resorting to gimmicks and tricks to create the impression that it is "innovating" whilst pursuing its basic objective: to maximise profits by getting money out of people's pockets.

Yes, “virtualization will be supported as well” but only for a time. I remember when Rosetta was used before, during the transition from Mac OS9 to the Unix system (named OSX). But there was a very good reason for that transition (and Steve Jobs was still in control of Apple). This time around I can see no good reason for moving to a different kind of chip.

TOPIC STARTER
New MacBook Pro Oct 18, 2021

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/18/apple-unveils-redesigned-macbook-pro/

A fully maxed 16-inch MacBook Pro tops out at $6,099. That’s a lot of words to translate.
