That said, I recently got an iPad for mobile gaming and in my opinion, that’s the one area where Apple has a serious advantage over the competition thanks to iOS and their high-powered CPU designs.
This could change though if Apple decides to have a Vulkan implementation based on Metal, which Ton has hope for. If they were, they would give open source coders access to updated hardware. If they would, they’d work with the industry on getting decent Vulkan support for their systems.
Blender Foundation has to pay for the Apple developer program (to sign binaries).Īpple is clearly not interested in supporting open source or cross platform openness in any way. My contacts within Apple can’t manage to get approval for sending us another system. Last thing for everyone to know: Apple took back our Mac Pro dev system loan last summer. to even have FOSS options for its users as evidenced by this final thought.
Ton also is of the opinion that Apple is actually trying to make it more difficult for the Mac. users will likely see a degraded experience due to Apple not being supported of FOSS, as well as the huge overhead of creating and maintaining yet another graphics backend if the long-term goal leads to Vulkan (as Apple phases out OpenGL on their machines).
