"Developers are also responsive to the smash hit success of Apple Silicon Macs. That success means many of them have ceased working on their Intel Mac applications to focus on Apple Silicon, where the market is going. That means they aren't being updated as frequently, if at all, leaving those third-party applications potentially vulnerable to attack when run on Intel Macs."
"There is a little life left in these old computers. Since Apple will provide security updates for another two years, you'll still be able to shift them on second-user markets for a little longer. But if you or your company are looking to upgrade some of the computers you picked up during the onset of the Covid epidemic in 2020, the end of Windows 10 support and the cessation of Intel Mac support mean you have some buying decisions to make."
Business partners expect advanced security protections and will not accept reliance on old Intel Macs or unsupported Windows 10 PCs. Many developers have shifted development to Apple Silicon Macs, causing Intel Mac applications to receive fewer updates or none at all. Reduced third-party maintenance increases vulnerability when those apps run on Intel Macs. Apple will provide security updates for these older Macs for about two more years, allowing limited resale. The end of Windows 10 support and the cessation of Intel Mac support force organizations to decide on timely computer upgrades.
