![]() Apple did not mention that this was the case, but it seems as good a guess as any. These chips added support for the HEVC video codec, which is likely what Sidecar uses to push video to the iPad. The reason is that Sidecar relies on the Intel Skylake chipsets used in the newer model laptops. If you have an older model, you are out of luck. Of course, all of these have the problematic keyboard. It said Sidecar is compatible with MacBook and MacBook Pro 2016 or later or MacBook Air 2018 or later. Well, Apple didn't quite put it that way. However, it appears that Apple's Sidecar comes with a caveat.Īccording to an Apple white paper, the feature only works with MacBooks equipped with the notoriously flawed butterfly keyboard. It is also nice if you just need some extra screen space or want to take notes on your iPad while doing something else on your Mac. It comes in handy if you work with ZBrush, Photoshop, or Adobe Illustrator. ![]() Sidecar is a new feature in macOS Catalina that allows an iPad to function a secondary display both wired and wirelessly. Much to the dismay of older MacBook users, Sidecar only works with notebooks featuring the butterfly keyboard. Facepalm: The much anticipated macOS Catalina dropped yesterday, and a major feature does not work with some MacBooks.
