Apple's macOS Tahoe 26 continues its strategy of a unified user interface while phasing out Intel-powered Macs. While a select few Intel Macs can upgrade, this marks the end of major updates for many machines, including older MacBook Airs and recent Intel models. Despite the end of major updates, Intel Macs will remain secure with patches for an additional three years. The transition signals Apple's commitment to its own Apple Silicon architecture, further distancing itself from Intel's x86 processors moving forward.
macOS Tahoe 26 signals a significant transition for Apple, as it primarily supports Apple Silicon Macs and marks the final updates for many Intel-powered models.
This year's macOS version drops support for several legacy Intel-powered Macs, emphasizing Apple's strategy to unify its user interface across all devices.
While Intel Macs will no longer receive major updates after Tahoe, they will still receive security patches for an additional three years, allowing users more time to transition.
With macOS Tahoe, Apple clearly indicates its commitment to moving away from Intel's architecture, as future updates will predominantly favor Apple-designed Silicon.
