macOS 27 will drop support for these four Mac models

macOS 27 will be revealed in a few weeks at WWDC, but Apple has already confirmed that the latest version of Mac software will not be compatible with at least four Mac models.

macOS 27 will not support Intel Macs, compatibility limited to Apple Silicon models

When macOS 27 becomes available to all users this fall, it will represent a crucial transition point for Apple.

Indeed, this will be the first version of macOS exclusive to Apple Silicon Macs.

Last year at WWDC, Apple warned that this transition was coming. He said macOS Tahoe would be the last version of the software supporting Intel Macs.

This means that the company already told us, a year in advance, that macOS 27 would stop supporting the following Macs:

• MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
• MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
• iMac (2020)
• Mac Pro (2019)

These four Macs are the latest Intel models currently supported by macOS Tahoe. But when macOS 27 arrives, they won’t be able to install the new software.

Will other models lose support? This is highly unlikely. macOS 27 will almost certainly not remove compatibility for Apple Silicon models. M1 Macs should get at least a few more years of support.

That said, we won’t have an official compatibility list from Apple until WWDC arrives. So for now, we can only say with certainty that at least four models will be removed from macOS 27.

On a related note, rumors indicate that iOS 27 will also drop four iPhone models this year.

Are you still using an Intel Mac? If so, will macOS 27 compatibility motivate you to upgrade? Let us know in the comments.
