Rosetta app translation features for Intel apps won't stay around indefinitely. The support list for macOS Tahoe still includes Intel Macs, but it's been whittled down to just four models, all released in 2019 or 2020. We speculated that this meant that the end was near for Intel Macs, and now we can confirm just how near it is: macOS Tahoe will be the last new macOS release to support any Intel Macs. All new releases starting with macOS 27 will require an Apple Silicon Mac.

Apple's new macOS Tahoe release isn't the end of the road for Intel Macs, but Apple is sending its clearest signal yet that it's very nearly finished with the Intel Mac era. The macOS 26 update will support just four Intel Macs, all released in either 2019 or 2020, and it entirely drops support for all Intel versions of the MacBook Air and Mac mini.

New OS also makes big additions to Shortcuts and Spotlight search. Apple took the wraps off the next version of macOS today. Codenamed Tahoe, macOS 26 gets a visual refresh with the same "Liquid Glass" look that Apple is introducing across all of its operating systems this year. Apple has also changed the version number, jumping directly from version 14 to version 26 as it shifts to unified year-based version numbering across all of its operating systems.
