macOS 26, also known as macOS Tahoe, will be the last version to run on Macs with Intel processors.
Intel-powered Macs that will support macOS Tahoe include models like the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and the 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro.
Apple Silicon processors, introduced in 2020, have replaced Intel chips in Apple hardware due to their improved performance and power efficiency.
Apple is urging app developers to prepare for the transition away from Intel chips, with macOS 26 and 27 offering support for legacy apps through the Rosetta translation process.
