A prime example is the popular title “Among Us”.
If there’s an app that you use a lot, that doesn’t have a desktop version: say Instagram, you don’t have to grab your phone to run it – you can now do it directly from your Mac. It could simply be a matter of convenience.
As CNET says: “ if you don’t install iPhone apps on the M1 MacBook Air, Pro, Mini, you’re missing out.” If you have an M1-based laptop it’s something you should certainly try. The good news is that iOS apps can be run directly to the Apple M1, giving developers an even wider potential audience for their apps, and increasing choice for consumers.
As Ars Technica says in its analysis of the M1: “you can beat the M1’s GPU with high-end Nvidia or Radeon desktop cards-but only at a massive disparity in power, physical size, and heat.” As Apple says: “The M1, as does all Apple GPUs, relies on tile-based deferred rendering (TBDR) and a unified memory architecture to provide great performance with minimum power.” Certainly, the GPU in the M1 has been scaled up from that in the A14 used in the latest iPads, with double the number of cores, but it shows the underlying power of the TBDR approach. The success of the M1 in benchmarks isn’t just down to the CPU cores of course – it has a lot to do with the GPU, which will already be familiar to anyone that has designed apps for iOS. Of course, it’s not the first time an SoC has been found inside a laptop – many Chromebook’s are powered by SoCs, but those were slightly higher-clocked chipsets that were originally used in smartphones rather than designed from the ground up for a laptop. This is of course, exactly how smartphones have been designed, and the SoC approach makes perfect sense for any product that can be disconnected from the mains and used with a battery, such as a laptop. The Apple M1 showcases the power of the system-on-chip (SoC), with CPU, GPU and memory combined in a single package. Since its release, the Apple M1 has been widely hailed for its performance, outstripping Intel in all the major benchmarks and all in a cool, quiet package with low power consumption. This release was notable as with these brand-new laptops Apple made a significant change – the processor inside was based on its own M1 chip rather than the Intel architecture that it had been using since 2006. Towards the end of last year, Apple released the latest version of its Apple MacBook Pro and Macbook Air laptops.
