Back in 2020 when Apple announced the transition to Apple Silicon, they released the Developer Transition Kit; basically it's an A12Z from an iPad Pro crammed into a Mac mini, but nobody has publicly tested one before. That is, until now. I managed to find a new*, *sealed DTK and today we're going to explore this and run world-first benchmarks as well as an exclusive teardown of the only Apple Silicon Mac you CAN'T buy!
Check out DongleBookPro's deep dive on this DTK! • The Developer Transiti...

any chance the beta OS could help the community figure out how to get native MAC OS support on iPad Pro ?

@zumuvtuber Год назад

I love how this pretty much confirms something we all knew: iPads could easily run macOS and desktop-level apps. I will never shut up about this until they actually do it 😂

@andyH_England Год назад

No one is disputing that! It is just Apple that has a business model to survive the monopolistic Windows machine, not to make the iPad macOS and compete with their Macs, as that would be the dumbest and most stupid business model anyone could imagine.

And there were tablets back then running Windows and they were hot garbage. Like Windows, Mac OS is not optimized for a touch interface.

@JoshF848 Год назад

I don’t think iPads should run macOS. But now they are using the same chips there’s no reason why they couldn’t run macOS apps, even if it was limited so that they would only run if a mouse and keyboard was connected, for example. Macs can run iOS apps despite the lack of touchscreen and it generally being a horrible experience to use them. iPads running mac apps would instantly make them way more useful.

@yakovmanshin Год назад

Shortly after WWDC 2020, I got an email from Apple offering to get one of these for $500, as did every (or almost every) other registered developer. I ignored the offer because I didn’t work on Mac apps back then, but nevertheless, it never seemed like an exclusive offer for the select few 🧐 UPD: Reviewing, benchmarking, or disassembling them publicly was not allowed by the developer agreement, and you had to return your item in early 2021 in exchange for an Apple Store gift card, but I’m pretty sure many developers chose to keep the DTK.

@frostgodx Год назад

@archie7012 Год назад

Apple did not give the chance to keep it. If I remember correctly.

@yakovmanshin Год назад

@@archie7012 You’re right, it wasn’t a choice Apple gave you officially. Though it’s pretty murky, I haven’t found evidence of any actual legal action ever taken by Apple, and some developers were surely okay to sacrifice their accounts if they were to get terminated for violating the agreement.

I’m sure any developers who didn’t return the kit got their accounts terminated permanently.

@XeZrunner Год назад

12:16 It is very intriguing to imagine Mac hardware running iOS/iPadOS natively, and especially the other way around. Love how they share the same platform, same core kernel and are compatible with each other. I'm sure somebody will manage to run iOS/iPadOS on Apple Silicon Macs and vice-versa in the near-future.

Vice versa requires the blessing of the apple install authorization server which lets just say isn’t exactly the most permissive

@JasperJanssen Год назад

Running iOS apps on Apple silicon macs is actual supported configuration. It’s just not all that useful, is why you rarely hear it discussed.

@XeZrunner Год назад

@@JasperJanssen Yeah, running actual iOS on Macs would also wouldn’t be very interesting from a usability standpoint, but to technically see it running would be great. macOS natively on the iPad would be a different story though.

@JasperJanssen Год назад

@@XeZrunner I suspect that there are almost no driver issues and the core code is just easily transportable. But they’ll never allow it unless they decide to allow it. (The one set of drivers that might be an issue would be the touch interfaces and such, and that macOS basically requires either a mouse with hover and multiple buttons or a physical keyboard with modifier keys and a mouse with hover and one button. You could have it Tcha-kra-ka-ka transformer-noise *only* when mouse and keyboard are connected but that would be pretty limiting.)

But Luke I bought one, and even documented how awful the developer experience was on my channel. (im terrible at videos, but made it in 2021 right before they forced us to return them.) I just had to make something demostrating how bad the DTK was for us devs. Seriously if you wanna talk Dev experience i got some stories to tell. Also worth mentioning all the docs/forum is still up. However you cannot get access to it unless you're dev account is provisioned for it.

@YuviApp Год назад

Yah it was not pleasant.. The amount of time I broke my own DTK was at least 10+. No fault to my own, mainly because of apple updates. As each DTK had to be enrolled to which you be given a DTK certificate that will allow your DTK to receive OTA updates. However those were known to break a lot of DTK. After which using the recovery image to “update” was a way better option.

I’m using davinci resolve on the iPad Air right now. Been teaching myself on both the MacBook and iPad. But trying to test out how it goes on the iPad. There’s a bit of hiccups since I’m using the edit page which clearly isn’t ready but it definitely works. Apple needs to port Final Cut but Final Cut doesn’t use the finder so idk how they’d do it. Davinci uses finder to import so the switch to the files app was probably easier than apple porting Final Cut.

Great vid! I have two things to say. First, are you able to update the dtk to the latest version of macOS? Does it even work? Or are you concerned that Apple may have bricked this product in later software? Second, the implications of not having a temperature sensor in that thing are pretty interesting. If there’s no system temperature readouts, how’s macOS going to thermal throttle the dtk if the load gets too heavy and starts heating it up? While I don’t recommend it, it would be interesting to install something like TG Pro and ramp up the fan speeds to the max, and then see how far you can push this thing. I have a feeling it would hold up pretty well.

Very interesting video, the Apple hardware engineers really worked to shrink everything down and make it compact. This just adds fuel to the fire of why Apple doesn't want MacOS apps (FinalCut, Logic Pro X etc) on the iPad, there doesn't seem to be a reason not to add them to the iPads.

@darwiniandude Год назад

My guess is that Logic / Final Cut etc software wise talk to all sorts of frameworks and things which do not exist on iPad OS, and a great deal would have to be changed. Also it would make less people buy a Mac, which is bad for Apple. If the pros don't need a Mac for Final Cut and Logic, less Mac sales.

because Apple understands that tablets are tablets, and computers are computers. Yes, you could put Final Cut or Logic Pro on an iPad, but would you really want to use it for long periods of time on a touchscreen? Convergence just doesn't work. If you try to shoehorn a mouse-based application onto a touchscreen device, the user experience suffers and the reverse is also true. Did everyone forget about Windows 8 already?
