    I never heard of anybody having their iCloud account blocked after using hackintosh and I have qhuite a few friends using it. I think as long as you have actual apple products connected to that account, they won’t block it as to not deter their customers.

    The only case I read was on reddit, but they created a new account from scratch and the ban might not even have been related to the hackintosh but just because it was deemed suspicious.

      Hmm maybe I’ll look into it again. The concern had something to do with having to spoof a serial number. I own Final Cut and would love to have the beefy GPU and CPU in my desktop accelerate it, but also am very afraid of losing my main account with that and a lot more. Already my current workflow is to render on my old MacBook as uncompressed, then transfer it to my desktop and use FFMPEG to compress. Better results and much faster than trying to have my MacBook do any sort of video compression.
