32 bit softwares run on 64 bit hardware. Period. It doesn't require maintenace on any platform, neither BSD, Linux or Windows.

Depreciating 32 bit software is just an Apple trick to force financial turnover.

It's the same reason why the deactivated sidecar for macbook older than 2016.



It's a very odd trick given that Catalina still supports my 7 year old macbook pro. Why not force me to upgrade sooner if it's all about the money?

Not saying I agree with apple's decision, but it's surely it's just about reducing their own engineering costs.


I think sidecar uses h265 so it's probably a question of the GPU either having dedicated h265 hardware or having enough grunt to run some kind of shader.
