Metal is incredibly successful… Just not on Mac. It’s the graphics API that drives the iPhone and iPad.

It seems like they’re worrying about Macs again, but when Metal was released the focus was iOS and it did bring significant performance improvements to that platform.

We can say whatever we want about mobile games, but in numbers, they’re dominant and the App Store is one of Apple’s biggest revenue sources.

Every 3D game on iOS is Metal.
