Mr. Xtreme Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 According to a recent report from british Hackintosh Group "Hack'nTod", Apple's next os will be called "mac OS", and for good reason. Apple's next OS a merge is going to be a of iOS and OS X! The result? A new OS that will replace OS X, and iOS. "macOS" will run on both Apple's ARM CPUs and Intel's CPUs! However, considering how, once Apple switched from PowerPC to intel, it only supported PowerPC for two more OS X versions before pulling PowerPC support. All in all, the hackintosh scene is in trouble... If you believed the above, then.... April Fools! Click here to view the article 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWin32 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 As much as I expect this to be an April Fools joke, I would predict Apple would at some point full-out merge iOS and OS X. Both are Darwin-based operating systems developed by Apple, Windows 10/Windows RT from Microsoft merging the mobile and desktop platforms into one OS ecosystem, and Android supporting both ARM mobile devices and x86 desktop computers before anyone else did, so it's inevitable that Apple would have to adapt to this practice to compete with others. It likely won't be the next OS release, but I predict it will be in the not-too-distant future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosakgroove Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Would be funny to get 64 bit ARM programmed iOS to run in other 64 bit ARM phones and devices. I just dont see the point of recompiling the whole OS X into an architecture built for portable devices... And for weaker CPUs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Next Year there will be the switch ??

atlee Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 @XtremeHacker he didn't make the story up lol there is evidence everywhere about arm for macos ha. They have been leaning towards this way for quite some time. We will prob see Apple bring out arm enabled laptops running macos coming in 2017. I can't imagine it being used for high powered use though but would be a good little coding platform light use anyway. CPU might be ok but memory wise and graphics wise I don't see it being in anyway powerful or useful until they improve on that side of things. When 10nm chips start coming a long in 2017 and better mobile graphics power then we might see some good competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosakgroove Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I honestly think that if Apple moves entirely to ARM at some point then many other computer manufacturers will too , specially on devices like laptops, and that will be an open gate to the possibility of new bootloaders and new methods for us to Hackintosh Ever since Tiger, after they left PowerPC I felt the hope in Hackintosh can never die Besides we have a community of brilliant minds that i am sure will start scratching their heads if "the ARM " change happens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
