They supported Intel Macs for 4 years now. I wish it was a little longer. This will probably shutdown Hackintosh and OpenCore Legacy Patcher updates.

    Really?
    Looks like a major version is supported for about 3 years.
    So, RIP Intel after 2028.

    And fck logic, 26 is after 15 (Sequoia) version.

    I'll make Debian servers out of recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

    Absolutely!

    I love giving old hardware a new life.

    Once I've finished tinkering, and if it's fully functional, I give them to poor families who can't afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

    Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

    Perfect, I'll just install Linux on mine then.

    Brand new apple products will be unusable by 2028 with the recent locking down of the operating systems. Keep using your old hardware.

    I’m looking at the Pinetime, Fairphone and Framework when I need to upgrade next time.

    Wouldn't surprise me if the mainstream android phone manufacturers do the same unless you used a custom rom when ever possible.

    That’s why we should prioritize manufacturers such as Fairphone with unlocked bootloaders while doing more to support Ubuntu Touch, Postmarket OS, Mobian, /e/ OS and Graphene OS.

    I think "end support" in the title is misleading. From the article:

    Based on Apple’s warning, you can expect that macOS 27 will drop support for all of these legacy machines, and therefore macOS 26 will be the last compatible version. These devices will continue to receive security updates for another three years, however.

    Unless your parents want the latest features they'll probably be fine for a few more years.

    I knew this was coming soon. I traded my 2018 MacBook Pro last year for an iPad Pro and haven’t regretted it. Only time until this becomes obsolete as well, but it’s serving me much better.
