It's taken over half a year since the PC launch, but Maxis has officially launched SimCity for Mac today. If you purchased the game already, there's no need to do it again: all copies of SimCity, whether digital or retail copies, can be used to play the game on both PC and Mac. To play the game on Mac, start Origin on Mac and install the game as usual.
