The new MacBook Pro laptops are displayed at the Global Conference of Apple 2023 developers. … More
As Tim Cook is preparing to Open the World Developer Conference Next week, countless Apple fans are preparing to make a new life inspired by their equipment. There will be something for everyone, iPhones and iPads to Apple watches and MacBook Pro laptops. However, there will be a little disappointed while Apple is preparing to remove the support from their laptop from the next version of MacOS.
The MacBook Pro Meeting MacOS Tahoe
It should be noted that Apple refreshes the numbering system on all its operating systems, so that the next version of MacOS will be MacOS 26, and the name of the nickname should continue to continue with MacOS Tahoe.
Apple continues to offer multi-year support on its equipment, including the Mac platform in general and MacBook laptops in particular. And this is where things become embarrassing for the owners of laptops.
The MacBook Pro support window
The assistance window for the MacBook Pro should go back to the 2019 MacBook Pro. Which passes an important Rubicon. At this point, the Mac family still worked on Intel equipment based on X86. Apple Silicon based on ARM arrived at the end of 2020, with the M1 MacBook Pro, M1 MacBook Air and M1 Mac Mini. Apple Silicon offered a significant jump in performance, power and efficiency.
The fact that Apple can take charge of the M1 chipset about five years from the line and bring the full range of new tools, including the latest generative AI suite, should not surprise. However, Apple still plans to support Intel MacBook Pro models older, slower and ineffective.
How much can Apple offer older laptops? It’s clear for MacBook Air owners still in the course of Intel. The MacBook Air from 2020, the last with the Intel Core chipset, will be abandoned, leaving only MacBook Air models with Apple silicon food supported by MacOS Tahoe and the following versions.
It’s less clear for the MacBook Pro. At the very least, Apple should offer security updates to laptops, but it remains to be seen if the latest public applications and services are offered. Given the requests imposed on the equipment, this is probably a limited subset of those available for Apple silicon macs.
The MacBook Pro already loses assistance
Consumers using third -party applications already know the error messages “not supported” on applications that are exclusively for Apple silicon macs) a list that increases longer), and more demanding applications such as Photoshop demand so much that Intel Macs are left behind, no matter what Cupertino offers.
It is regrettable that no laptop can last forever. Although Apple’s support window is rarely specified for Mac, six years of updates are welcome, but feels short for an Apple product. This is the disadvantage of the 2020 Intel movement in arms; Apple won a much more powerful platform, but it had to take charge of the old platform for a polished number of years.
This support is coming to an end. The MacBook Air focused on consumer has a difficult stop to come. At the same time, the MacBook Pro focusing on professional will be released from another year or two, which will be greeted by those who use the laptop in a production environment, but Tim Cook has put the platform in cancellation notice.
The MacBook Pro that many knew and loved arrives at the end of its history.
