There are still a good number of the tools we use that are not ready to run natively on Apple Silicon so we are going to continue to use the services of Rosetta 2, which enables Intel coded apps and plugins to run in Big Sur and Monterey on Apple Silicon computers. It also cements Apple’s plan to move to Apple Silicon, confirmed by the release of the first 2nd-gen Apple Silicon computers with the release of the new M1 Pro and M1 Max powered 14-Inch and 16-Inch Mac Book Pro laptops. With the release of macOS Monterey, on Monday, October 18th 2021, for the first time Apple jumps up one full integer between two consecutive macOS updates but with different versions of Big Sur being ‘point’ upgrades we suggest that left Apple with nowhere to go.
