Next MacOS is said to support only a few Intel-Macs

According to a report, Apple’s next MAC operating system continues to run to Intel-Macs, but for the first time no longer on all model series. For MacBook Air and Mac Mini, a device with a M1 chip (from autumn 2020) is considered the minimum requirement to install the system upgrade usually published in September or October.

Apple shows the next MacOS version on the WWDC

A preliminary version of MacOS 16 and MacOS 26 leads According to information from Appleinsider Only certain Intel Macs are compatible, namely the MacBook Pro from built in 2019, the 5K-IMAC 2020 and the Mac Pro 2019. MacBook Air 2019 and spring 2020 and Mac Mini 2018 are not listed. However, whether this list is already final remains open. Apple will present the next MacOS version on June 9 at the WWDC keynote and then publish a first developer beta. Then the specific system requirements should also be mentioned.

Accordingly, one can speculate that the subsequent MacOS 17/27 will be the first version that runs purely on ARM MAC. Apple would end the X86 support six years after the start of the major change to in-house processors. Macs generally classifies Apple as “vintage” five years after the end of sales, which is the preliminary stage for the “Obsolet” status, which reaches after seven years. Once the latter has been reached, the manufacturer no longer offers original spare parts and repair services. Hardware like the Mac Mini 2018 is already classified as “vintage”, most of the remaining Intel Macs are likely to follow.

Only the latest MacOS stuffs all security gaps

Although Apple continues to provide security patches for the two previous MacOS versions, they have long since no longer close all known security gaps-this is only done by the most important version of the operating system. There is no concrete and binding promise for a period in which updates and patches have been carried out at Apple.
