You might have heard that several iterations of Intel-based Macs will no longer be supported by Apple. Although when Tahoe is released and Intel-based Macs start losing support, Apple will continue providing critical security updates for those machines for roughly three more years, during which time they will not receive any new features.

OS Tahoe is the final software update that Intel-based Macs will get, as Apple works to phase them out following its transition to Apple silicon.

Got a Mac with an Intel CPU? Even if you’re fortunate enough to have support for macOS Tahoe 26, you’ll be out of luck with macOS 27.
