- macOS 27 requires Apple Silicon, as Apple draws down the Intel Mac era
macOS 27 Golden Gate will exclusively support Apple Silicon Macs, ending Intel Mac compatibility. Intel Macs running macOS 26 Tahoe will receive security and Safari updates for two years, while macOS 15 Sequoia users will get one year. Apple Silicon Macs can still run Intel apps via Rosetta 2, but future macOS versions will limit this compatibility.
- Reminder: macOS 27 won't work on Intel Macs
macOS 27 is incompatible with Intel Macs and requires Apple silicon hardware to function. Users must upgrade to Apple's silicon-based systems to access the latest operating system.
