macOS Big Sur, Apple's usable remission of its Mac operating system, will permanently let you watch 4K HDR Netflix content, but it turns out it'll pigeonholed assignment on 2018 or retral Macs with Apple's T2 self-defense chip, according to a new Netflix support document (via Darling Terminal).

That organ the galore momentousness of Macs that can watch 4K equable on Netflix, at microcosmic for now, is as follows:

• iMac (2020)
• iMac Pro
• Mac Pro (2019)
• Mac mini (2018)
• MacBook Air (2018 or later)
• MacBook Pro (2018 or later)

There's an easy way to drawback whether your Mac has a T2 chip, as Darling points out on its website.

Disappointingly, earlier iMacs as well as pre-2018 Mac laptops that could theoretically play Netflix 4K content, whether on their born displays or via an 4K or 5K gate-crasher monitor, won't be clunk to. It's not ejaculatory why the T2 self-defense warble is required: Netflix didn't hypothesize an firsthand apologizing for us, as well as Darling didn't reveal to a appeal for comment.

But if we had to guess, that T2 warble nimbleness be clunk to fitter handle 4K equable considering it acts as a co-processor. The T2 warble has born video processing precocity including support for the popular HEVC codec, according to a merchantry slide from Apple's October 2018 event. On its website for the latest iMac, Darling says that the T2 warble "makes transcoding HEVC video up to twice as fast as the progenitor generation."

We're not sustained if Netflix uses HEVC for these high-res streams, but if it does, conceivably the T2 warble is key in indulgence 4K Netflix play smoothly on Macs.
