Apple is accelerating its exit from Intel by making macOS 27 incompatible with any Intel-based Mac, cementing a transition that began with Apple Silicon in 2020 and eliminating support options for users still on older hardware. This forces a hard upgrade cycle for enterprise and consumer users who've delayed migration, collapsing the previous gradual compatibility window that allowed Intel Macs to run newer operating systems. The move reflects Apple's confidence in its chip roadmap and willingness to fragment its installed base rather than maintain backward compatibility—a strategic choice that benefits hardware sales but creates real friction for cost-conscious organizations and individual users.
