Apple has announced that macOS Sequoia will still be supported on Intel-powered Macs for at least one more year. However, some features in macOS Sequoia, such as Apple Intelligence and live audio transcription in Apple Notes, are limited to Apple Silicon machines. This means that users with Intel-powered Macs will not have access to these specific features and will miss out on Apple’s advancements in generative artificial intelligence.
Despite the limitations for Intel-powered Macs, the rest of the macOS Sequoia update will be available to both Intel and Apple Silicon platforms. One notable feature that stands out is iPhone Mirroring, which allows users to view their iPhone screen on their Mac and control it using their keyboard and trackpad. Compatibility for iPhone Mirroring in macOS Sequoia includes both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers with a T2 Security Chip, as long as specific requirements are met.
Overall, while Intel users may miss out on certain features like Apple Intelligence, macOS Sequoia still offers a range of updates and improvements that are accessible to both Intel and Apple Silicon platforms. It will be interesting to see how users adapt to these changes and which features they are most excited to try out in the latest macOS update.
