Advanced Apple Maps

While this one may come as more of a surprise, it appears that the incredibly detailed Apple Maps improvements will also require Apple Silicon for the full experience.

This includes the new globe view and the detailed urban landscapes that allow you to explore cities in more detail than ever before, with elevation, roads, commercial districts, marinas, trees, buildings, and landmarks all showing up in much more detail.

It’s unclear what Intel Mac users will see instead, but we’re guessing it will likely just be similar to the Maps experience that’s currently offered in Big Sur — and there won’t be a big spinning interactive globe view available either.
