Windows giant Microsoft has updated its app development environment Visual Studio Code (VSC) with Apple silicon compatibility. Now programmers can run the software natively on their M1-powered Mac computers, enjoying the snappy performance and long battery life.
Well, that was fast. After launching in November of 2020, Apple is now selling refurbished models of the M1-equipped MacBook Air.
The popular “Call Recorder for Skype” app will not be updated with Apple silicon compatibility.
Just three months ago, Apple reported its fourth fiscal quarterly earnings, raking in billions of dollars (again). And now the company's back with its latest report, and once again raking in billions of dollars.
Ever since Apple announced and launched its M1-equipped Mac options, getting Linux up and running on the hardware has been a goal for many a developer. And now it has finally arrived.
Microsoft today announced that customers can download the first beta version of its Edge web browser that now features native Apple silicon support on computers powered by Apple's M1 chip, including the recently updated Mac mini, MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
Earlier this week, Apple seeded the latest developer (and public) beta of macOS 11.2 Big Sur. It didn't come with any major forward facing new features, but it did appear to take one away. It was just a rumor at the time, but now it appears it's officially official.
2020 was a busy year for Apple, as is par for the course. So, of course, 2021 will probably be just as busy. And that means even more Apple Silicon Macs, too. And plenty of redesigns.
One of the strengths of the M1-equipped Mac models out there (which are a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini) is the ability to run iOS apps. However, a change in the latest beta suggests there may be a limitation on the way.
As iDownloadBlog recently reported, some owners of the new Mac computers powered by Apple silicon are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues. Apple is aware of the problem and working on a fix which should soon arrive via a macOS software update.
2020 feels forever ago, and it's hard to imagine that in those 12 months I managed to buy two different MacBook Air models. But that's what happens when, at first, you really need to upgrade, and then, by the end of the year, Apple intrigues you enough to grab your interest all over again.
First Apple silicon Mac models include the company's popular notebook models, the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Thanks to optimizations in macOS Big Sur, these M1 Macs are speedy, responsive and very enjoyable to use. Follow along with us for some common features in Big Sur that you may want to take a closer look at upon unwrapping your new computer.
