Title: Apple Will End Support For Intel Macs Next Year

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/06/09/224...

Apple announced that macOS 26 "Tahoe" will be the final version to support
Intel-based Macs, with future macOS releases running exclusively on Apple
Silicon devices (that is, 2020 M1 models and newer). They will, however,
continue to receive security updates for a few more years. 9to5Mac reports:
In some ways, Apple has already stopped supporting some non-Apple Silicon
models of its lineup. macOS Tahoe does not work with any Intel MacBook Air or
Mac mini for instance. But Tahoe does still support some Intel Macs. That
includes compatibility with the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, the 2020 Intel 13-
inch MacBook Pro, 2020 iMac, and the 2019 Mac Pro. Based on Apple's warning,
you can expect that macOS 27 will drop support for all of these legacy
machines, and therefore macOS 26 will be the last compatible version. These
devices will continue to receive security updates for another three years,
however. Going forward, the minimum support hardware generations will be from
2020 onwards, as that is when Apple began the Apple Silicon transition with
the M1. M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pros followed in 2021.
