I remember like it was yesterday when Apple on one of his autumn KeynoteIn 2020, he showed the world for the first time MacBook Air with the M1 chip as a revolution in the field of laptops. This old-fashioned machine ran thanks to the chip Apple Silicon at least in promotional videos, extremely fast, both in terms of running the macOS operating system and working with applications. In short, it looks like a fairy tale. But the reality is a little different, which I have been experiencing for almost two years now.

On a Mac with a chip Apple Silicon I specifically switched from 16″ MacBooku Pro with Intel, which was one of the best in its time MacBookon the market. Besides, why not, when it originally cost almost 70 CZK. But then came MacBook Air with M1 for less than 30 CZK, 000″ MacBook Pro pushed with his fistoneit fits in my pocket and I kind of knew right away that I wanted to be there when Apple began to write a new computer era with his Silicons. And I must say that I enjoyed it from the very beginning, because Air with M1 he pushed 16″ at speed MacBook Pro really fits in your pocket, both in terms of system speed and opening applications. However, I admit that I probably expected a little more from the latter, since it was not fast enough even after optimization for Apple Silicon in many cases they were not quite close to the speed he presented Apple - So miniat least when starting them.

But time passed, I got more and more used to the Mac with the M1, and I stopped worrying about whether something would turn on a second earlier or later - even considering the nature of my work. From time to time I do get an update with support Apple Silicon installed with great expectations regarding acceleration, but usually it did not appear at all for the application, or it was so small that it simply nestI would mention, for example, Facebook Messenger, which honestly doesn't seem like something that has application parameters optimized specifically for Apple Silicon. But why am I writing all this? A few days ago he published WhatsApp beta of my macOS app, which is currently available for Apple Silicon optimized. Out of curiosity, I downloaded it and, quite honestly, I was nestI was amazed. Although it is only a beta, the speed of the application is absolutely incredible and IoneI somehow understand and feel the potential Apple Silicon to the fullest. Unfortunately, however, I must add in one breath that I WhatsAppem just confirmed that Macy's with chips Apple Silicon They are only as good as the developers of your applications. And if developers don't care about the applications, or simply don't approach them with the intention of getting the best out of them, the best possible outcomes will logically not be achieved. New WhatsApp However, it somehow gave me hope again that Mac software can really move towards user comfort in an extreme way, and I believe that will happen.
It's completely logical. And for me, some companies are completely incomprehensible. For example, Adobe, perhaps one of the biggest software companies in the world, and their programs run really painfully slow on Silicon processors.
Unfortunately, Adobe has long been known for its poor software quality. Many years of unresolved bugs in the entire spectrum of their applications. Very late update. Their development is very slow. Their Silicon update will also be pretty cheap.
So it is true. The thing that surprised me the most about the AI was the occasional choppy approach, which, for example, with affinity, is completely smooth.
