Without a doubt one of the great announcements of this WWDC 2020, along with iOS 14, have been the new Macs with Apple Silicon. These new processors arrive to replace those of Intel in order to have greater control over the hardware of their computers. But not everything will remain in a simple processor, since internally we will see users some important changes in this regard.
Apple Silicon will simplify many processes
Developers were briefed on the new Apple Silicon architecture at sessions taking place at WWDC. We as users will see some changes in the macOS recovery options or in the deactivation of the destination disk mode.
Right now if we want to restore our Mac we must restart it and when it starts we have to press a specific key combination. Depending on the action you want to perform, you must vary it, such as Command + R to access the restore options, Command + Shift + R to restore yourself by connecting to Apple servers. And like this many other actions such as clearing NVRAM memory . Now Apple wants to simplify all these processes thanks to its own Apple Silicon processors.
In one of the sessions of the WWDC, the change that the recovery options of macOS will undergo has been clearly explained, since you will simply have to press the power button when you start the Mac. At the moment, a black screen will be thrown that will allow us access the recovery options of macOS or start the computer normally as can be seen in the following image that has been seen in the conference.
In addition to simplifying the steps to perform any operation on macOS, the option to create a destination disk on Mac will also be eliminated. In this way, the Mac will not become an external hard drive at any time and will simply be a SMB network file share.
Mac restoration will be more accessible
This is undoubtedly very good news, since it will allow users to comfortably restore their computers. Until now, if a software problem occurs, many people fear restoring because they do not have the necessary knowledge. In Windows, for example, within the operating system settings there is an option to be able to reset the computer completely.
This is unfortunately somewhat hidden in macOS and you should always use a professional to guide you through the steps. In this way the option will remain somewhat hidden but different key combinations should no longer be remembered. Simply by pressing the start button you can format the device without problems to solve the problem you have in the software.
This may be the way and without a doubt Apple Silicon opens many possibilities since being able to have absolute control over the software and also over the hardware will make everything have much more harmony. The same can be seen on the iPhone with the harmony that exists between the A series processor and the operating system.
