macOS May 27 Indicate the Retirement of M1 Macs

macOS Tahoe will be the final significant upgrade for Intel-based Macs. Although the company has been gradually removing features from its software updates for these devices for quite some time, it has chosen to cease support for them entirely upon the release of macOS 27 in the autumn of 2026.

Even though we are still several months away from that date, Apple Silicon users are gearing up for a change in the Mac landscape that is rarely seen. After all, the transition from PowerPC to Intel hardware occurred in 2006, and Apple ceased software support for PowerPC Macs with Mac OS X Snow Leopard in 2008.

Despite processors being vastly more powerful than they were two decades ago, witnessing Apple finally finalize the switch to its own silicon indicates that M1-series Macs will be six years old when macOS 27 arrives. With this in view, we are likely approaching the point where an Apple proprietary chip may not be supported by the company’s software in the future.

Google Photos Starts Rollout of New AI Function

Google has been consistently enhancing its Gemini AI systems this year, introducing new functionalities to the AI chatbot and implementing modifications to various other services, such as Google Photos. A feature that was first demonstrated in July, which allows any image to be transformed into a cartoon style, has now begun to be made available to Google Photos users globally.

It is important to note that its rollout has just begun, as the feature is presently accessible only to certain users; however, Google has released a comprehensive support article on [how to get started with Remix](https://support.google.com/photos/thread/364772489/edit-your-photos-with-remix-in-google-photos-app?hl=en&sjid=6065011629796818716-NA). Moreover, the new Create tab, also highlighted by Google last month and slated for wider release this month, is not yet fully accessible.

In contrast to [Google Photos’ novel photo-to-video feature](https://www.bgr.com/1920036/google-photos-adds-photo-to-video-ai-feature/), which takes a still image and employs generative AI to convert it into a video, Remix primarily focuses on altering the style of the image into one of four distinct cartoonish art styles, including an anime style, comic book style, sketch style, and a style reminiscent of 3D animations similar to those seen in Pixar or DreamWorks films.

### How to utilize Remix in Google Photos

Like many other AI-driven features being added to Google Photos in recent months, Remix is exclusively available in the mobile app version of the tool. Once the Create tab is rolled out to a broader audience, you’ll be able to access all of these features directly from there. For the time being, however, you can find it by tapping the + sign in the top-right corner of the Google Photos app.

Next, seek out the **Remix** option within the Create listings and tap on it. After that, you’ll need to select one of the four styles provided by the app, then choose the image you wish to remix. Upon selecting the image, click **Generate,** and wait for the AI to complete the task. If the initial result isn’t to your liking, you can always click **Regenerate** to try again.

These kinds of remixed images have become quite prevalent on social media since ChatGPT and other AI chatbots enabled users to
