Portrait Mode on FaceTime: Only M1 Macs on macOS Monterey will be able to blur the background of a video call using FaceTime. M1 includes a lot more than the CPU and RAM on just the 1 chip. Also, the 2019 Mac has Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 support as does my 2020 M1 mini, but the 2020 M1 mini runs my Intel programs and graphics faster than the 2019 Intel mini. The video messaging service is being updated with spatial. Both have Intel I7 4 cores with 32gb RAM, but not the same generation. Apple showed off the next version of its mobile operating system at WWDC, with one of the biggest changes coming to FaceTime. My 2019 intel mini has a T1 chip for security and other features that its 2014 predecessor does not have. Live Text, Portrait mode for FaceTime video calls and more all require Apple.
