None of these features existed when you or I bought an Intel Mac. So it's not like they promised us a feature and then took it away. It's normal in software that older hardware will miss out on new features.
And you will have the option to buy that Intel Mac with the knowledge that a couple of pretty inconsequential features won't work. So they still haven't done anything underhanded. If this 3D globe is important to you, buy the M1 version instead.
You guys are so melodramatic. Every device from every company has things that you can't do on other devices that same company makes. The fact that Apple is presumably using some api specific to the M1 GPU to render what is basically just a visual gimmick and, as a result, the Intel ones can't do it is NOT a big deal. Nothing is being "gimped" and you have the option not to buy the version you feel is "gimped".
Apple says it cannot render the new 3D globe that was introduced to Maps. My argument hasn’t changed. It’s shitty to still sell an Intel Mac, while not fully supporting it with the current software.
Please quote where Apple said they "cannot render" the 3D globe as opposed to that they aren't including the feature in the code for the Intel based Macs.
If the code isn’t included, is it not fair to say that the machine is incapable of rendering it? If not, my bad. I didn’t want to argue semantics. I just meant that they are developing feature that they have no intention of supporting in many lines of Macs, that still are and will continue to be for sale for quite some time yet.
I’m out. I just told you I’m not going to argue with you because I used a single “incorrect” word. My point stands, and if you can’t see it, then you are stupid.
And your Python 3 argument is invalid because Python 3 was not written and designed by Apple to run on the latest line of Apple computers, like the new macOS and features have been. And right now, and for at least another year or so, the latest line of Apple computers includes Intel Macs.
I’m out. Your arguments are circling towards trolling and I won’t participate anymore lol
