    I had to search for how far back support goes for Sonoma, and it was surprisingly short.

    I think Apple is intentionally shortening the support cycle right now to get everyone on ARM chips for a variety of reasons. They come with neural cores and are incredibly fast to their predecessors.

    It’s tough to change architectures, and I think we’re frustratingly caught in the growing pains right now.

      Apple has done this multiple times. Power oc to Intel, 32 bit Intel support to 64bit Intel support to arm. They actually don’t care and just know their loyal base will buy up new hardware ro deal woth the changes

        I’m confused. Are you upset that they’re switching to better chip architectures as they become available? Because you can still run Intel Mac apps with Rosetta and some of them actually run better now than they did on Intel hardware.

        You’re complaining about something that’s just a byproduct of technological progress.
