Apple Inc.’s new macOS Tahoe 26 will be the final Mac operating system software that will work on Macs running Intel Corp. processors, the company said Monday following its developer conference.

The announcement marks the beginning of the end of support for the legacy systems based on Intel’s chips, which Apple first shipped about 20 years ago. The Cupertino, California-based company started replacing Intel-based Mac PCs with computers running its own Apple Silicon semiconductors at the end of 2020.
