Before introducing the A4 in 2010, Apple used the same stock processors as rival devices. Apple's processors are also more power-efficient than Intel's, which may mean thinner and lighter Mac laptops in the future.Īpple's customer processors have given its mobile devices a unique advantage in the marketplace. As a result, we start to rely on our machines to be the one-stop solution for anything and everything we need.Think about it: you start using a device from the moment you wake up. Inside Apple, tests of new Macs with the Arm-based chips have shown sizable improvements over Intel-powered versions, specifically in graphics performance and apps using artificial intelligence, the people said. We use them for work, school, recreation, and simply to complete daily tasks in life. Apple engineers worried that sticking to Intel's road map would delay or derail some future Macs, according to people familiar with the effort. The move is speculated to improve the roadmap of Mac products.Īpple's chip-development group, led by Johny Srouji, decided to make the switch after Intel's annual chip performance gains slowed. Bloomberg reports that Apple intends to make the announcement at this month's World Wide Developer Conference starting June 22nd. Apple has been using customized variants of ARM processors for 10 years in the iPhone.

No, you cannot get the system accent color. I should probably put this in a blog post, but that might wait until Big Sur is closer to shipping.Įdit: Oh yeah that’s definitely just the system accent color, since the left is Catalina. Now on Big Sur, your app will adopt the colors if the user has the Multicolor accent color selected. Add NSAppAccentColorName as a string with the value set to the name of the color set in your asset catalog.ĭone. Lastly, you need to add a key to your ist. Now you’ll need to use Build Automation to have the Assets.car folder added to your app’s Resources folder. Oh right, that means DESTINATION_PATH should be a folder, not a file. This will create an Assets.car file in your DESTINATION_PATH. I’ll admit I don’t actually know the right minimum deployment target, but 11 has worked for me. Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/actool -compile DESTINATION_PATH -minimum-deployment-target 11.0 -platform macosx CATALOG_PATH. Now that you have your assets catalog, you need to compile it. My advice is to set colors for both any and dark. If you show the attributes inspector using View -> Inspectors -> Attributes, you can change the number of colors in the set with the Appearances menu. By default, your color set will have two vales: Any Appearance and Dark Appearance. Inside the catalog, press the “+” at the bottom left and create a new color set. I recommend keeping your catalog, so save it somewhere important and not just the desktop. Use File -> New -> File and choose to create an Asset Catalog. 12 would be better, but 11 will work well enough. If the user has the new “Multicolor” accent color chosen. Users can get that on current macOS versions in System Prefs.īUT you can change the accent color of your app for Big Sur. That could just be his system’s accent color.
