>If the Apple II was the 70s and the Macintosh was the 80s and NeXTSTEP was the 90s and the iPhone was the 2000s, name the thing of this caliber they did in the 2010s.
Arguably, the iPod was 2000s and the iPhone was 2010s. The iPhone really didn't get started until the iPhone 3GS in middle-2009 so it started slowly but really defined the 2010s for Apple.
That was on a 700 MHz Raspberry Pi 1. On an 1800 MHz Raspberry Pi 400 NEON SIMD the difference was another order of magnitude.

Comparison - The three 700 MHz Pi 1 main measurements (Loops, Linpack and Whetstone) were 55, 42 and 94 MFLOPS, with the four gains over Cray 1 being 8.8 times for MHz and 4.6, 1.6, 15.7 times for MFLOPS.
The 2020 1800 MHz Pi 400 provided 819, 1147 and 498 MFLOPS, with MHz speed gains of 23 times and 69, 42 and 83 times for MFLOPS. With more advanced SIMD options, the 64 bit compilation produced Cray 1 MFLOPS gains of 78.8, 49.5 and 95.5 times.[/QUOTE]
You can run in full-screen mode by doing the normal macOS click on the green stoplight button at the top of the window. The current versions of Apple's virtualization libraries para-virtualize the GPU which runs nearly at full native speed.
It sounds like you want a type 1 VM. Unfortunately none exist for macOS that I'm aware of.
Won’t work anyway. You can’t virtualize an Intel macOS on an Apple silicon VM. Unless you were just looking to transfer your data files. If so you can share a directory that is the external TM disk. (Not sure if you can do that with Parallels but the article author’s Viable works fine.)
It was always a stupid rumor. Can you imagine if Apple required a different USB-C cable for your new iPhone rather than what already works with iPads and MacBooks? They would never do that.
Most of the software I’ve written has gone into hardware products. Currently working on an embedded Linux system and writing a UI in ReactJS. We are late but only by a couple of months and I have every expectation that the software will be completed. The product has pre-sold about $1M already.
If you want to be working on shipping products, work on embedded stuff.
I’ve done customer facing business software too. Still mostly successful but that is where I’ve seen a few failures. One project I did was writing automated functional/integration tests didn’t see release but I take no blame for that one. The tests worked. The product didn’t.
I’ve been doing ReactJS development with both the M1 and now the M2 MacBook Air for a year now. My app’s transpiler production build takes about 5 seconds and any development incremental is essentially instantaneous.
I can’t imagine most developers work even stressing an M2 unless you are compiling chrome or something.
Best thing as a contractor I don’t even bother to bring a power adapter. I work for 8 hours and leave with 20%-40% remaining every day.
