### macOS 27 to Exclude Intel Macs: Compatibility Restricted to Apple Silicon Models
macOS 27 is anticipated to be revealed at WWDC in a few weeks, signifying a major shift for Apple as it will be the inaugural macOS version solely for Apple silicon Macs. This change follows Apple’s earlier announcement that macOS Tahoe would be the final iteration compatible with Intel Macs.
#### Models Losing Support
Apple has verified that the following four Intel Mac models will be incompatible with macOS 27:
– MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019)
– MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
– iMac (2020)
– Mac Pro (2019)
These models represent the final Intel variations currently supported by macOS Tahoe and will be unable to install the new software upon the release of macOS 27.
#### Future Compatibility
It is improbable that any additional models will lose support, as macOS 27 is expected to retain compatibility with all Apple silicon models. M1 Macs, in particular, are predicted to receive support for at least a few more years.
An official list of compatible devices from Apple will be published at WWDC, but for the moment, it is confirmed that at least these four Intel models will be excluded from macOS 27.
#### Related Developments
In a related update, there are rumors that iOS 27 will also cease support for four iPhone models this year, reflecting a broader trend in Apple’s move away from Intel architecture.
For users still using Intel Macs, the forthcoming lack of compatibility with macOS 27 may act as an incentive to consider updating their hardware.
