alt Hacker NewsI didn't realize that. I thought it was a different architecture - or different enough that the two couldn't run the same binaries. Are they indeed binary compatible?

You can run iOS apps on an Apple Silicon Mac if the developer doesn't explicitly prevent you.

Yes! It’s simply a naming convention.
Yeah theres very little difference at this point between the A and M lines, think of the M as just being the more powerful line, but that doesnt make the A line weak, not by any stretch. Both are completely binary compatible at this point.
The A18 Pro single core performance is on-par with the M4 (a smidge lower but barely anything in it), and outperforms the M3.
