🔍 Summary:
Apple has announced that macOS Tahoe will be the final version to support Intel Macs, marking a significant shift towards exclusively using Apple Silicon processors in future macOS releases starting with macOS 27. This transition will phase out Intel Mac support by fall 2028, following Apple’s typical update schedule which includes one year of major updates and two additional years of security updates.
Additionally, changes are coming to Rosetta 2, the software designed to help transition from Intel to Apple Silicon by translating Intel-based apps to run on the new architecture. While Rosetta will still function in macOS 26 and 27, its capabilities will be limited post-macOS 27 to supporting only certain older games that depend on Intel-specific libraries and are not actively maintained.
This strategy mirrors Apple’s earlier shift from PowerPC to Intel CPUs, where the original Rosetta technology was phased out about five years after the transition began. The move away from Intel has varied in pace; for instance, while newer Intel Macs were replaced by Apple Silicon models in 2020 and 2021, some products like the 2019 Intel Mac Pro and 2018 Intel Mac mini continued to be sold into 2023, offering limited new macOS updates and security support to their buyers.
