One of the features integrated into macOS is Boot Camp. This effectively allows users to run Windows apps on their Mac computers by booting their computers into Windows, giving users the best of both worlds, so to speak. Unfortunately, it seems that in the future, Apple’s Mac computers may no longer support it.
As some of you might have heard, Apple recently confirmed their transition from Intel’s x86 processors to their own custom Apple silicon chipsets. Apple announced a bunch of tools to help developers create compatible apps, and one of those tools is Rosetta which basically allows apps based on x86 to run on the Apple silicon platform.
However, based on the documentation of Rosetta, it seems that it will not work with Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 platforms, which also means that tools like Boot Camp will no longer work on Apple’s new chipsets. As of now, Apple has yet to announce a replacement for Boot Camp, so it is unclear how this will affect users moving forwards.
It is possible that Apple has plans to maybe “fix” this feature or create a new way to run Windows apps on their ARM-based chipsets, but for now, the company has yet to announce anything. That being said, Apple’s transition to their own custom silicon is expected to take two years, so perhaps the company will have more details to share further down the line.
Until then, Mac users who need the ability to run Windows apps will probably need to purchase Intel-based Mac computers.
Boot Camp May Longer Be Available On Apple Silicon Mac Computers

Apple is expected to launch their first Mac computer using their custom silicon chipsets later this year. There is a question of cost since no one knows how much these new ARM-based chipsets are expected to be priced, but according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it seems that the components needed to make them could end up being more expensive than Intel’s processors.
This shouldn’t really come as a surprise. As with all things new and with shifts in production, changes to design, cost of R&D, new technology usually ends up being pricier at the start. However, what this means for customers remains unclear. Will these additional costs be passed down to consumers?
Costs of production, marketing, research, are usually factored into the price of a product, so it would make sense that these costs could end up being passed to customers. At the same time, considering that these new ARM-based Macs are unproven and represent a potentially huge change in how we use computers, increasing the price of these new Macs could hinder its adoption.
Either way, this is something we’ll have to take note of moving forwards. Apple is expected to debut a 24-inch iMac as one of the first computers to use these new chipsets, so we’ll just have to wait and see how much it would cost compared to Apple’s iMacs in the past.
