  • [NEWS] Intel Macs and apps being obsoleted by next few macOS releases

    At today's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple announced the
    newest version of macOS, now using the year *after* its release as the
    number, and still using codenames (the only Apple OS to do so).


    macOS 26 (Tahoe) will be the last version that will run on any Intel Mac.

    Following on from that, next year's macOS 27 will be the last version
    to "fully" Rosetta 2 support for running old Intel apps, although
    Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 will be "scaled back significantly to support
    only legacy apps like old games that won't be updated again."

    macOS 27 will be the last operating system to fully support Rosetta 2

    So a full 7 years after the first Apple Silicon Mac was released, there
    will still be full support for running Intel software.
