macOS 26 Rumored to Drop Support for These Macs

Apple plans to release macOS 26 this year, dropping support for several older Intel-based Mac models starting at WWDC on June 9, 2025.
This update succeeds macOS Sequoia 15 and focuses on creating a consistent design language across Apple’s platforms, resulting in discontinued support for some older Mac models, including certain MacBook Pros and iMac Pros released before 2019.
MacOS 26 will feature a major redesign influenced by visionOS, refreshing the appearance of graphical elements such as icons, navigation bars, applications, interface panels, and control elements, representing the most significant Mac update since Big Sur while still offering limited support for select Intel-based Macs.
According to Mark Gurman, the new version will enhance Siri with advanced large language models and extended conversational ability, while shifting focus to M-series Macs for future features.
This update suggests Apple is accelerating its transition away from Intel Macs, implying improved cross-platform consistency but limited feature availability on older models.
