On new Apple computers with M1 chip it is actually possible to install the MiMo App and control the Osmo Pocket 2.
The App is not approved for this use, but it works (not well, alas). Installation is very fiddly, and you need to use the advise in this link https://forum.dji.com/thread-228866-1-1.html to make the WiFi connection manually, before things will work. This is a screen shot from my Mac Mini M1 with Big Sur 11.4:
The App needs a few manual configurations (i.e. allowing access to location, image directory etc), and it is not really that usable, since it is impossible to rotate the app to landscape use (easier to rotate an iPhone ;-) The biggest problem is, that the DJI Pocket 2 gets extremely hot after some minutes (22C, indoor overcast outside, fresh air) and then looses the WiFi connection.
But in theory, DJI could easily adjust the App code to make it work on all M1 equipped Macs; they just haven't discovered the option it seems (DJI is not that active, when it comes to discovering a better customer experience - see all the entries requesting firmware updates to remedy this, that and the other "insufficiency" in the DJI Pocket 2).
