macOS 27 Golden Gate ends support for every Intel Mac
Apple says any Mac with an M- or A-series chip can upgrade; 2020 M1 MacBook Air and Pro models remain supported.
TLDR
macOS 27 Golden Gate is available only for Macs with Apple silicon, ending major-version support for every Intel Mac. Apple's compatibility list includes the M1 MacBook Air and 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro from 2020, so model year alone is not enough to determine support. Users can open About This Mac to check: supported machines show a Chip field with an M- or A-series processor, while Intel models show a Processor field. Software Update offers only versions compatible with the current Mac.
