The Apple T1 smuggled Apple silicon into the Intel Mac four years before the [[Apple M1|M1]]: a small Watch-class chip running its own bridge operating system to drive the 2016 MacBook Pro's Touch Bar and, more importantly, to hold Touch ID and Apple Pay inside a Secure Enclave that Intel's processor could never touch.

The T1 established the beachhead pattern — a sealed Apple subsystem inside someone else's computer. Its expanded successor, the [[Apple T2]], took over storage, boot, and cameras, and together they read in hindsight as the Mac transition's advance party.
