macOS 13 Ventura banishes Intel
macOS 13 Ventura, the upcoming version of Apple’s desktop operating system, is leaving more Intel Mac owners behind than anticipated. We know Apple wants to quickly transition everyone away from Intel and onto its custom ARM-based processors, and now it’s expediting that process by limiting support for macOS Ventura. Where macOS Monterey supported a swath of Intel Macs, Ventura will only be only available on the following devices:
2017 iMac and later
2017 iMac Pro and later
2018 MacBook Air and later
2017 MacBook Pro and later
2019 Mac Pro and later
2018 Mac mini and later
2017 MacBook and later
2022 Mac Studio
That means all pre-2017 Macs, including the Mac Pro (the trash can), lose out. The good news is that there aren’t as many restrictions in macOS Ventura for Intel users as there were with macOS Monterey. At least, not for the few Intel users who can even run this version.
