Apple said last year that macOS Tahoe would be the final release to run on pre-Apple silicon machines, and macOS 27 makes that official \u2013 you&#8217;ll need an Apple silicon Mac to install it.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the Macs compatible with macOS Golden Gate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MacBook Neo (2026)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later)<\/li>\n<li>iMac with Apple silicon (2021 and later)<\/li>\n<li>Mac mini with Apple silicon (2020 and later)<\/li>\n<li>Mac Studio with Apple silicon (2022 and later)<\/li>\n<li>Mac Pro with Apple silicon (2023 and later)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Four models that ran macOS Tahoe didn&#8217;t make the cut this year. They include the MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), the iMac (2020), and the Mac Pro (2019).<\/p>\n<p>Owners of those machines aren&#8217;t entirely out of luck, however. Apple usually keeps issuing security fixes for the previous macOS version well after it&#8217;s superseded, so anyone sticking with Tahoe will continue to get the necessary patches. But for the latest features, though, the only path forward is a newer Mac.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading--1cooZo6n heading--h3--23mHEuMI inline--Nnb-B96C\">Popular Stories<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"heading--1cooZo6n heading--h4--3n5gZUlc title--3FvxcRdi\">The MacRumors Show: What to Expect at WWDC 2026<\/h3>\n<p>On this week&#8217;s episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through all of the major rumors surrounding Apple&#8217;s announcements at WWDC 2026.<br \/>\nSubscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos<br \/>\nThe event&#8217;s tagline, &#8220;All Systems Glow,&#8221; is widely seen as a hint at Siri&#8217;s new design.
