End of an Era: The Decline of Hackintosh and the Future of MacOS

Apple's announcement that macOS Tahoe will be the last version supporting Intel Macs marks the end of support for older hardware, impacting OpenCore and Hackintosh communities. While OpenCore Legacy Patcher can still extend the life of older Macs temporarily, future macOS updates will only support Apple Silicon, leading to the decline of Hackintosh and OpenCore projects. The communities are somewhat resigned but nostalgic, recognizing this as the end of an era for running newer macOS versions on unsupported hardware.

macOS Tahoe 26 to End Intel Support as Apple Fully Transitions to Apple Silicon

Apple announced that macOS Tahoe 26 will be the last update supporting Intel-based Macs, as support for these devices will end with macOS 28, with only limited Rosetta 2 functionality remaining for older apps. Full support for Intel Macs will cease next year, but security updates will continue for three more years, marking the end of an era as Apple fully transitions to its custom silicon.

Apple Phases Out Intel Macs and Introduces Power-User Spotlight Upgrades

Apple announced that macOS Tahoe will be the final major update for Intel-based Macs, which will no longer receive new features after this release, though security updates will continue for three years. The transition to Apple Silicon is complete, with newer Macs focusing on this architecture, and users are encouraged to migrate their apps accordingly.

"macOS Sonoma: Enhanced Updates, Password Manager, Public Beta Features, and iCloud Keychain Integration"

Data analysis of Mac models reveals that Intel Macs released between 2009 and 2015 can expect to receive seven or eight years of macOS updates, while those released in 2016 and 2017 will receive about six years. This marks a two-year drop compared to earlier Macs. Although the last Intel Macs will still receive longer support than the last PowerPC Macs, they will have fewer years of software update support than any other Macs released in the past 15 years. The future of the remaining Intel Macs suggests they may only have a year or two of macOS updates left.

Apple's latest operating system, macOS Sonoma, has new features that are only available to Macs with Apple Silicon, not Intel-powered Macs. These features include Presenter Overlay, React with your hands, Game Mode, and improved Siri functionality. macOS Sonoma will be available to the general public later this year and supports a limited number of Intel-powered Macs.

"macOS Sonoma: New Features and Compatibility Changes"

With the introduction of the Apple Silicon Mac Pro, Apple has completed the transition and booted all Intel Macs from its current lineup. However, the macOS Sonoma update will still run on a couple of generations of Intel Macs, but in general, if you're using anything made before 2018 or anything without an Apple T2 chip in it, you won't be able to run the new OS. Apple has been dropping support for Intel Macs a bit more quickly in the Apple Silicon era than it was during the height of the Intel Mac era in the early- to mid-2010s.
