Apple has announced its final version of macOS for Intel


After two decades, Apple has announced its final version of MacOS for Intel. Guess that means Hackintoshing is done, too.

The good news is that they gave the public one more year of new versions, along with the promise of potential security fixes, avoiding an uncomfortable rug-pull like the one that many PowerPC users experienced with Snow Leopard in 2009. While some Mac models did get short shrift (owners of the 2020 Intel MacBook Air have some angry skeets to write), for the most part, the company did not try to force this transition to happen faster than it needed to. Don McHoull has apparently discovered that the strip has been recycling and updating frames, replacing old TVs and old haircuts, for nearly a decade, with things picking up after the pandemic.
