On June 9, local time in the US, in its WWDC25 keynote speech, Apple announced an important policy: the operating system "Mac OS Taho" launched in the second half of this year will be the last system version that supports Mac computers based on Intel processors.
Review Apple's layout in system support in 2020 During the WWDC 2020 keynote, Apple promised to continue to support Intel's basic Macs in the next few years and continue to launch new Mac OS. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Some features of the Mac OS Monterey, which will be launched the following year, cannot run on Intel processors. With the release of the 14 and 16 models of the MacBook Pro equipped with M1 Pro and Max in October 2021, all Intel chip Macs will be discontinued.
It is reported that Mac OS Tahoe It will bring many new features, including the adoption of newly designed interfaces, spotlight updates, and enhanced continuity between iPhone, iPad and Mac. Intel basic Macs that can support this system cover models such as MacBook Pro Model 16 (2019), MacBook Pro Model 13 (2020), IMAC (2020), MacPro (2019), etc. In addition, Apple promises to continue to provide security updates within 3 years after the launch of Mac OS Taho.
It is worth mentioning that Apple has precedents in processor conversion. When moving from power PC chips to Intel processors in 2004, the "Rosetta" software was launched to enable the old software to run on new chips, but seven years later, as Intel chip Apple products became popular, the software was removed in Mac OS X Lion (10.7). Today's Mac OS is equipped with "Rosetta 2" and can automatically translate applications designed by existing Intel processors, but Apple plans to maintain the software until Mac OS 27 will be launched in two years. This system support policy adjustment will undoubtedly have a profound impact on users who use Intel Macs.
The above is the polished news report content, highlighting the key information of Apple's system supporting policy adjustments. If you feel that there is something that needs to be supplemented or modified, please feel free to tell me.
