Fallacies

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive because it hides the fact that Apple's decision to require macOS on Apple Silicon for developing apps for the Apple Vision Pro is a way of pushing developers to adopt the new technology and increase Mac sales. The author uses phrases like 'should not come as a huge surprise', 'many held off waiting for the new technology', and 'it’s only natural' to downplay the significance of this decision and make it seem more reasonable than it is. Additionally, the author implies that Apple Silicon is superior to Intel-based Macs without providing any evidence or comparison. The article also uses a euphemism ('spatial computing') instead of acknowledging that the Apple Vision Pro is an augmented reality headset, which could be seen as an attempt to rebrand and distance themselves from existing competitors in the market.
The author states that 'Apple no longer sells any new Intel-based Mac machines', without mentioning that they continue to support them with software updates. This is a lie by omission, as it leaves out important information for potential buyers who might still be using Intel-based Macs.
The author says that 'many held off waiting for the new technology', implying that developers were not eager or excited about Apple Silicon, when in fact many were looking forward to its release. This is a biased and negative portrayal of developer sentiment towards Apple's new hardware.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when the author states that Apple no longer sells any new Intel-based Mac machines and that developers are likely to be frequent updaters of their hardware. This statement implies that Apple's decision is final and should not be questioned, which is a form of an appeal to authority fallacy.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'Apple's ecosystem' to describe Apple Silicon as if it is a religion or belief system that developers must follow in order to be successful. Additionally, the author mentions that there will be a cleanly engineered breakaway from existing VR and AR headsets which implies that they are somehow inferior or less advanced than the Apple Vision Pro.
