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.
