Apple has announced that developers can now remove Intel support from universal Mac App Store apps designed for macOS 13 or later versions. This change aims to streamline development and reduce download sizes. Developers opting to drop Intel support will cease providing updates for those computers, although existing Intel Mac users can continue using the last compatible app version. macOS Tahoe, the final release compatible with Intel-based Macs, will rely on Apple silicon Macs featuring an M1 chip or later.
Apple is also retiring Rosetta 2, the technology enabling Intel-based applications to run on Apple silicon Macs, with functionality ceasing for most apps after macOS Golden Gate. An exception is granted for a few older, unsupported gaming titles reliant on Intel-based frameworks.
