This article is now part of a book

This article was originally published as part of my free Apple Metal series.
The material has since been revised, corrected, expanded, and reorganized into a structured book:

Apple Metal: From Fundamentals to Practice

The book version is now the canonical and actively maintained edition. Future updates, corrections, and new chapters will be published there.
