And no new Macs were announced once more

Docker on Mac runs in a VM, either by one of the traditional virtualisation solutions (Virtualbox, VMWare, Parallels) or via xhyve. The VM acts as a Docker server, so the client on the mac side just passes options to the Docker VM. See: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/mac/

Docker now also has a native Mac client that doesn't require docker-machine

What does "native" mean in this context? The Mac client still runs containers in a Linux VM.

Thanks both! I believe the native Mac announcement is what put me off track.

Which gets pretty bad the moment you need to use shared volumes.
