Now that Apple has transitioned its entire Mac lineup to Apple Silicon, the company announced during the Platforms State of the Union keynote at WWDC 2025 that macOS 26, named Tahoe, will be the final version of the operating system to support Macs equipped with Intel processors.
The Intel-based Mac models still compatible with macOS 26 Tahoe include the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, the 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, the 2020 27-inch iMac, and the 2019 Mac Pro. These devices will continue to receive security updates for the next three years.
In terms of features, these Intel Macs will retain access to the new Spotlight enhancements and Continuity functionalities introduced in macOS 26.
As the broader market continues to shift toward Apple Silicon, Apple anticipates that most users will gradually adopt the new architecture. Accordingly, the company urges developers to accelerate the migration of their applications and services to fully embrace the Apple Silicon environment.
Rosetta 2, the translation layer designed to support Intel apps on Apple Silicon, will remain available through macOS 27—spanning two more major macOS versions—to ensure continued compatibility for legacy Intel-based applications that have not yet been ported.
Beyond that, Apple plans to retain limited Rosetta 2 functionality specifically for running certain games that rely on Intel-specific architectural frameworks. Nevertheless, developers are strongly encouraged to expedite the transition of their apps to native Apple Silicon support.
