macOS 27 Drops Intel Support, Embraces Apple Silicon Only
TL;DR Summary
Apple says macOS 27 will be Apple Silicon–only, requiring M-series (or the A18 Pro on MacBook Neo) and will not support Intel-based Macs. Intel Macs will still receive security updates for three more years, but some older models (2020 13-inch MBP with four TB3 ports, 2019 16-inch MBP, 2020 iMac, 2019 Mac Pro) will be excluded from the update. Rosetta will remain available through macOS 27 to help run Intel apps, with limited support for older titles beyond that window. The update is set to debut at WWDC 2026 on June 8 and release to the public in September.
