Here\u2019s the full list of Mac models compatible with the update.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-1054906\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-here-are-the-mac-models-compatible-with-macos-golden-gate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are the Mac models compatible with macOS Golden Gate<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple announced last year that macOS Tahoe would be the last software version that supports pre-Apple silicon Macs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And today\u2019s macOS 27 confirmed that Intel Macs are no longer supported. You\u2019ll need an Apple silicon model to run the latest software.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the full list of Macs compatible with macOS Golden Gate:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>MacBook\u00a0Neo (2026)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook\u00a0Air with Apple\u00a0silicon (2020\u00a0and\u00a0later)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook\u00a0Pro with Apple\u00a0silicon (2020\u00a0and\u00a0later)<\/li>\n<li>iMac with Apple silicon (2021\u00a0and\u00a0later)<\/li>\n<li>Mac\u00a0mini with Apple silicon (2020\u00a0and\u00a0later)<\/li>\n<li>Mac\u00a0Studio with Apple silicon (2022\u00a0and\u00a0later)<\/li>\n<li>Mac Pro with Apple silicon (2023 and later)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are four Macs that supported macOS Tahoe that are being dropped this year: MacBook Pro (16\u2011inch, 2019), MacBook Pro (13\u2011inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), iMac (2020), and Mac Pro (2019).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re stuck on macOS Tahoe, Apple will continue to support the update with security fixes for a long while to come. But for the latest software features, you\u2019ll need to upgrade to a new Mac first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out our WWDC News Hub\u00a0for all the latest announcements from Apple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still running an Intel Mac?
