they just used their own arm chips, but didn’t require them for macos until now. that meant up until now you could still use older intel macs with the newest macos version, but won’t be able to do that anymore starting with 27. only apple chips will get the newest version.
I thought they already did that a few years back?
Very few Intel devices supported Mac OS 26. They’d been winding down supported machines for a while before that.
