Yesterday, Bloomberg broke the information that this 12 months’s software program replace for the Mac will probably be macOS 26 moderately than macOS 16. The replace is predicted to carry a sweeping redesign to the Mac, and now now we have the primary rumors on which fashions will have the ability to replace to macOS 26.
The report comes from AppleInsider, and cites nameless “folks aware of the matter.” In accordance with the report, present pre-release variations of macOS 26 are suitable with these Macs:
- MacBook Professional 2019 or later
- iMac 2020 or later
- Mac Professional 2019 or later
- Mac mini M1 or later
- Mac Studio
- MacBook Air M1 or later
If this pans out, there are a couple of notable issues about this record. First, it implies that macOS will proceed to assist Intel machines for an additional 12 months. That is in step with expectations, as Stephen Hackett outlined at 512 Pixels final week.
On the flip aspect, this record means that macOS 26 will reduce off a number of Macs at present supported by macOS Sequoia:
- 2018 MacBook Professional
- 2017 iMac Professional
- 2018 Mac mini
- 2020 Intel MacBook Air
One factor to bear in mind, nonetheless, is that simply because a Mac is supported by macOS 26 doesn’t imply it’ll get all of the flagship options of the discharge. For instance, Apple can (and can) restrict sure options to Macs powered by Apple Silicon.
Apple will announce macOS 26 at WWDC, which kicks off on June 9.
