Calling it a historic day for the Mac, Apple CEO Tim Cook detailed the transitions to PowerPC, Mac OS X, and the move to Intel chips before unveiling its plans to use Apples own ARM-powered silicon in Macs in the future.

Its a big move that means macOS will support native iOS apps and macOS apps side by side on these new machines in the future.

New Intel-powered Macs are still in the pipeline, so Apple isnt moving exclusively to ARM-based Macs just yet.

Most apps will just work, says Apple, meaning youll be able to run native macOS apps alongside native iOS apps side by side for the first time.

Apple is designing its own range of SoC for Macs, with features unique to Mac.

The common ARM-based architecture across Apples products should now make it easier for developers to write and optimize apps across every major Apple device.

The vast majority of developers can get their apps up and running in a matter of days, claims Craig Federighi, Apples senior vice president of software engineering.

Apple has also been working with Adobe to get these pro apps up and running on these new chips.

Apple demonstrated Lightroom and Photoshop running on the companys new Macs, with a 5GB Photoshop PSD running natively with smooth animations.

Apple used Rosetta previously for the PowerPC shift to Intel-based Macs, and Rosetta 2 will automatically translate existing apps at install time.

This means that even if developers havent fully updated their apps, they should still work without modification.

Apple is also using virtualization for running versions of Linux on these new Macs.

Developers will also be able to get access to a Developer Transition Kit in the form of a Mac mini enclosure with Apples A12Z chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

Apple has reportedly been testing ARM-based chips in Macs and found big performance increases over Intel alternatives.

Microsoft started this work ahead of the Windows 8 release in 2012, and even released the Windows RT operating system that was designed for ARM-based hardware.

Microsoft has since transitioned Windows 10 to ARM and worked with Qualcomm to integrate a custom SQ1 processor into its Surface Pro X device.

We have updated the article to accurately state it is has a Mac mini enclosure.
