FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apple has just revealed macOS Tahoe 26 at WWDC 2025 and as well as taking the 
wraps off the next incarnation of its desktop OS  known as Tahoe  the company 
gave us the scoop on hardware compatibility. 

In other words, we now know which Macs will be good to run macOS Tahoe, and 
which Apple laptops and computers will be left out in the cold, stuck on the 
current version which is macOS Sequioa . 

And as you might expect, continuing the trend set last year, more of Apples 
Macs with Intel CPUs are going to be barred from entry with macOS Tahoe. 

So, which Macs will be compatible with macOS 26? Heres the full list for the 
various models of Apples computers: MacBook Air M1 or later MacBook Pro 
16-inch 2019 or later MacBook Pro 2020 or later MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020 with 
four Thunderbolt 3 ports iMac 2020 or later Mac mini 2020 or later Mac Pro 
2019 or later Mac Studio 2022 and later (Image credit: Future) Newer hardware 
thats out of luck 

As you might realize, this leaves some relatively new Mac hardware 
languishing in the land of macOS 15, never being able to make the leap to 
macOS 26. 

Most notably, that includes a laptop from 2020  the MacBook Air with an Intel 
CPU , as only the MacBook Air with M1 from that year is supported by macOS 
Tahoe. 

While thats the worst offender in terms of being prematurely shuffled off the 
support coil, those who own a MacBook Pro from 2018 are also left in the 
lurch, as are Mac mini 2018 owners for that matter. 

All of those are still pretty recent machines  you could argue the iMac Pro 
2017 is, as well  and none of them will be able to upgrade to macOS 26. Boo, 
hiss and so forth 

That doesnt mean these Macs are suddenly rendered unusable, though. Even 
though Tahoe isnt an option for them, Apple will continue to provide security 
updates for macOS 15 Sequoia going forward. So, itll remain a perfectly good 
operating system for as long as that happens (which should be a couple of 
years of updates, typically). 

You just wont get the new features that macOS 26 delivers (and you can read 
more about them here ). 

If your Mac is compatible and you want to try out macOS Tahoe 26 right now, 
then we show you how to download the macOS 26 Tahoe developer beta . You
