That's a lot of new stuff for developers to invest in, and it'll require some prioritization. No more 'ask for access to everything just in case you need it,' much more careful choosing about permissions. They'll also have to explicitly ask for permission to track users. There's about to be much more onus on developers to be transparent about privacy and data-collection, thanks to the new nutrition-label cards in the App Store.Though with the App Library automatically organizing home screens, their icons will be buried in many more folders. With App Clips and widgets, developers have more opportunities to get their stuff out of their apps and into users' faces.No such luck for music, podcasts, maps or messaging, though. OK, this feature is mostly for antitrust regulators, and was buried on one of those 'look at all our other features' slides, but it's still the first great chance devs have had to compete in those spaces. On iOS and iPadOS, users will be able to set default email and browser apps other than Apple's.But hidden in the keynote were plenty of important features: The section on the silicon transition was by far the most developer-focused part of Apple's keynote, which was in general aimed much more at consumers. And it would cause a developer revolt way beyond what we've seen before.

One question it left unanswered: Will users still be able to install apps from outside Apple's App Store? And if so, what will the Arm transition be like for them? Apple's clearly tightening its control over the ecosystem, but that would be an unprecedented step.

The transition's supposed to take a couple of years, but Apple's selling a $500 Developer Transition Kit starting now.Apple's Craig Federighi said that developers using Xcode will be able to port their apps to the new architecture in a matter of days. Office is apparently up and running on the new chips, too, and Apple is working with Adobe on Creative Cloud stuff as well. In the new MacOS, Big Sur, all of Apple's apps are already built to support the new Arm chips.

Apple's making a whole family of chips, with consistent architecture across all its devices - again, a large step toward bringing the iPhone, iPad and Mac even closer together.

How big a deal is this for Apple? It's calling the new MacOS version 11.0 - which means after 19 years of running ever-higher numbered versions of OS X, Apple thinks it's onto something new.
