What Macs support using iOS and iPadOS apps?

[tranceking26]

Is this just for the Arm Macs when they come out, or do Intel Macs get these too?

Hope I don't sound dumb, just considering my options on Big Sur.

Apple wasn't entirely clear, but I believe it's only future ARM-based Macs. Apple mentioned it as part the selling pitch for the transition since the apps could now run "natively." This was part of the discussion for emulation and what not which was only relevant on non-Intel Macs.

By default only ARM Macs will fully support iOS / iPadOS applications and developers will have to adjust their current applications to work on macOS Big Sur (Intel). This was clearly mentioned in the Platforms State of the Union.

ARM apps will support iOS and iPadOS apps.

Intel apps can only run Catalyst versions of iPadOS apps

only if the developer updates their app and checks the Mac support, that should enable their catalyst version to be ran on Mac
