The upcoming version of macOS, Sonoma, drops support for a slew of Intel models.

A transition of this magnitudechanging the entire architecture of the Macis going to be rough in places.
In this case, the actual transition was amazingly smooth.

“Usually, Macs last a long time, but Intel Macs might face challenges.
They’ll still work, but new software and updates might not support them.
In simple words, they’ll work, but maybe not as well as before.”
To continue making worse Macs forever?
It’s just not worth it.
