  "summary": "Apple's transition away from Intel chips was a significant blow to the US chip maker. This shift, which began in 2020, was beneficial to both Apple and TSMC, which manufactured Apple's new chips, known as Apple Silicon. According to AppleInsider, Intel has not learned from losing Apple's business to TSMC.\n\nApple is now encouraging developers to drop support for Intel-based Macs. Developers can update their universal macOS apps on the Mac App Store to only support arm64, which is Apple's chip architecture, and no longer require Intel compatibility. This change allows for smaller downloads and less bloat. However, owners of Intel Macs will not lose access to their apps immediately, as they can continue using the last version built for their machine, but they will not receive future updates.\n\nThis move aligns with Apple's plan to phase out Intel Macs entirely. Digital Trends reports that macOS 27, codenamed Golden Gate, is set to be released, further indicating Apple's commitment to its own chip designs.",
