Apple’s macOS 26 is set to debut on June 9 at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers’ Conference, but owners of older MacBook Pros and iMacs won’t be able to experience the next-gen operating system.
macOS 26 may not support the 2018 MacBook Pro or the 2017 iMac Pro.
The successor to macOS Sequoia is expected to launch alongside iOS 26, formerly referred to as iOS 19. Both operating systems are said to feature user interface changes somewhat reminiscent of visionOS, and people familiar with the matter have told AppleInsider this will indeed be the case.
However, not every Mac user will be able to enjoy the visual changes and Apple Intelligence enhancements within macOS 26, codenamed “Cheer.” Individuals familiar with Apple’s internal operating system variants and pre-production builds of macOS 26 suggest Apple could drop support for multiple older, Intel-based Macs.
