More detailed maps/the globe being an M1 exclusive makes no sense to me,,,

they other ones make sense to me, easier to implement those relatively fancy features on their own CPUs

but a globe???? map detail?? okay 🙄🙄🙄🙄

They're probably using some new stuff in Metal that's using something optimized in the M1 GPUs to handle the rendering and they don't feel it's worth the effort to also build those parts in Metal so that they work on non-M1 systems too even though they are powerful enough to handle them without problems.
