WWDC25: macOS Tahoe Compatibility, Will Be Last to Support Intel Macs

Tahoe

As expected, this release of macOS does drop some older Intel machines from the line. This is what is supported:

  • MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
  • MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
  • MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019)
  • MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • iMac (2020 and later)
  • Mac mini (2020 and later)
  • Mac Studio (2022 and later)
  • Mac Pro (2019 and later)

These machines supported macOS Sequoia, but have been dropped this time around:

  • iMac Pro (2017)
  • Mac mini (2018)
  • MacBook Pro (2018)
  • iMac (2019)
  • Intel MacBook Air (2020)

In the State of the Union, Apple announced macOS 27 will require Apple silicon and shared that Rosetta will end in macOS 28 via documentation.
