As I understand that all depends on how Rosetta 2 and the Virtualization Module (which was briefly shown running Linux) will handle these things.Any idea if BootCamp will work with their custom silicon mac?

There's no full secure boot chain though, so worst case scenario we have to patchAccording to what's new, 11.0 will have a cryptographically signed system volume. Unless there's a system level toggle, that may present a challenge.
boot.efi
or something.Must be the Haswell CPU requirement. Fwiw it also supports the late-2013 Retina which also had GT650M graphics
Does anyone know why the late 2013 imac is not supported with Big Sur
I think lack of intel avx2 cpu instruction set
I think lack of intel avx2 cpu instruction set
so that machine lacks that instruction setI think lack of intel avx2 cpu instruction set
Maybe not according to apple, for some reason..late 2013 iMacs have haswell. I thought they’d be good for a few more updates.
This thread will be used to discuss advancements in getting macOS 11 Big Sur running on unsupported Macs.
The late 2013 21.5 iMac literally has a more powerful haswell cpu than the 2014 21.5. This is completely arbitrary.Maybe not according to apple, for some reason..
Is there a list of which Macs are supported?
pkgutil --expand-full
and then move the DMG to Contents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg
in the application. Then you can use createinstallmedia
as usual. It needs about 11 GB this time around.For those trying to unzip the package I linked, you'll need to usepkgutil --expand-full
and then move the DMG toContents/SharedSupport/SharedSupport.dmg
in the application.
@Argyboy there is no confirmation yet that the OS does indeed use AVX in core OS files. It may be like Catalina where it's only used in a few places. We will see shortly.

The installer boots, which is encouraging in terms of AVX not being required for core stuff.

It's structured quite differently though, so new installer patches may take a bit.
Do "iPad Air 2" and "mini 4" get iPadOS 14 ?
But reading that list I doubt, even if 2012 Mac having a Metal GPU should get with few efforts "Big Sur", I guess.
Yeah, I suspect apple is dropping support either for the increased graphics performance or just because it requires too much work to make it work. Although lazyness can be good, in most situations it's just bs and i really hope you guys can make it work and, maybe even more important, it will run properly on my 2012. also, doing some research to 2013 macbook pro's, **** me! 500-650 pounds just for a refurbished one? that's crazy!Yes, they do get iOS 14. iPad Air 2 came out in 2014, I still have two in daily use at my house (kids), now that is incredible.
