With its latest Macs, Apple dropped Intel to return to making its own silicon. Now, Apple has brought the same level of security to its Macs. The company's latest Platform Security update, released this morning, details how the M1 chip used for its latest MacMini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro brings iPhone and iPad-level security to its personal computers. That's why Apple devices - running iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS - have security capabilities designed into silicon," Apple says in its update. It helps that Apple dropped Intel for a return to designing its own Silicon for its latest Macs.
