Apple's macOS 26, codenamed Tahoe, will be the final major operating system update to support Intel-based Macs, marking a transition exclusively to Apple Silicon machines starting next year. This update ends compatibility for thousands of older Mac models, with only four Intel Macs supported for this release. macOS Tahoe introduces a range of new features including a redesigned user interface called Liquid Glass, which offers a more immersive and visually cohesive experience. The update also brings enhancements such as clipboard history, four new apps, and a significant overhaul to Spotlight search, which is expected to be a popular feature despite some critiques. Additionally, Apple plans to phase out Rosetta 2 with the release of macOS 28, further signaling the end of Intel support. The move is seen as a bold step in Apple's Mac lineup evolution, focusing on performance and customization improvements tailored for Apple Silicon architecture.
