macOS 26: The Last Intel-Supported Version

Apple announced at WWDC that macOS 26 Tahoe will be the final macOS version supporting Intel chips. Starting next year, major new macOS releases will only run on Apple Silicon Macs (2020 M1 and later). While Intel Macs will receive security updates for a time, users won't get new features in macOS 27 and beyond. Some older Intel Macs, like certain MacBook Airs and Mac minis, are already unsupported by macOS Tahoe. However, Tahoe still supports some Intel Macs, including the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro. Apple's message is clear: upgrade to Apple Silicon for continued feature and security updates.
