Apple approved third-party GPU drivers for AMD and Nvidia external graphics processing units on Apple Silicon Macs starting April 4, though the drivers support compute tasks rather than graphics acceleration. The decision coincided with a significant surge in App Store submissions, with new app approvals rising 84% as AI-powered coding tools like Vibe coding gained traction among developers. The combination of expanded hardware compatibility and AI development assistance has substantially increased activity on the platform in early 2026.
