Apple is poised to host its WWDC 2025 Developer Conference, where it will unveil the latest developments across its operating systems, alongside their corresponding beta versions. The forthcoming iteration of macOS will be titled macOS 26, bearing the codename Cheer.
macOS 26 is expected to undergo a visual transformation reminiscent of VisionOS, incorporating design refinements that align with Apple’s evolving aesthetic. Additionally, the update will prominently feature Apple Intelligence, the company’s advancing suite of AI capabilities. However, the new version will also begin to phase out support for legacy Mac models.
According to third-party publication Apple Insider, the update is likely to drop support for the 2017 iMac Pro, the 2018 MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, as well as the 2020 Intel-based MacBook Air.
Given that Apple’s proprietary silicon is already approaching its fifth generation with the M5 chip, the gradual discontinuation of Intel-based Mac support comes as no surprise—these devices have increasingly fallen out of favor with users.
Interestingly, the 2019 MacBook Pro and the 2020 5K iMac may still be eligible for the macOS 26 upgrade. However, Apple’s precise criteria for determining support eligibility among older devices remains unclear.
The following models are expected to be compatible with macOS 26:
- MacBook Pro 2019 or later
- MacBook Air M1 or later
- iMac 2020 or later
- Mac Pro 2019 or later
- Mac mini M1 or later
- Mac Studio — All models
If you’re unsure of your device’s exact model, you can locate the serial number and model information within the macOS system settings. Eligible users can look forward to the innovations and redesigned features that Apple is set to unveil for macOS at the highly anticipated WWDC 2025.
