īoot Camp 6.0 added support for 64-bit versions of Windows 10. However, with the release of Boot Camp 5.0 for Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion in version 10.8.3, only 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 are officially supported. Boot Camp 4.0 for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard version 10.6.6 up to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 only supported Windows 7. Previous versions of Boot Camp supported Windows XP and Windows Vista. Initially introduced as an unsupported beta for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, the utility was first introduced with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and has been included in subsequent versions of the operating system ever since. The utility also installs a Windows Control Panel applet for selecting the default boot operating system. The utility guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including resizing of an existing HFS+ or APFS partition, if necessary) of their hard disk drive or solid state drive and installation of Windows device drivers for the Apple hardware. This update is actually a long overdue one.6.1.17 (19 March 2022 4 months ago ( 19 March 2022))īoot Camp Assistant is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.'s macOS (previously Mac OS X / OS X) that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers. Some users even made third party drivers which mimic the normal macOS gestures for their Windows Mac. What other reason is there? They are simply lazy and do not care. Even simple features like 3D map, an interactive globe and etc. This is just like how they did not ('') make some features available on the Intel Macs. What about the older Macbooks which do not have the T2 chip but offers the same trackpad support and gestures as the newer ones with the T2 chip and M1.Īpple could have added the better trackpad support to older Macbooks without the T2 chip if they put their mind to it. If the T2 chips plays a part in trackpad support. Even if that reason isn't immediately apparent to us. It is also possible they pass built in trackpad and keyboard input data through the T2 chip on T2 equipped Macs for extra security. It could be doing the same on macOS, but we wouldn't know since we're not privy to the details. I am not an Apple engineer, but I'd deduce that what is going on here is they are using spare processing capacity on the T2 chip to handle this.
