macOS 26 Coming Soon – Find Out if Your Device Will Be Supported

Apple is set to unveil its next major software update — likely named macOS 26 or macOS Tahoe — during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday , where the company traditionally introduces updates across all its platforms. As previously speculated, this year’s event will focus heavily on a unified design language, enhanced AI integrations, and new naming conventions for all of Apple’s operating systems.

One key reason behind the jump to version “26” is believed to be Apple’s strategy to align its software releases with its upcoming 2025–2026 product roadmap . This change would apply consistently across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26 , ensuring synchronization across devices in the ecosystem.

Although skipping several version numbers raises some questions among tech observers, it could help Apple streamline future updates and better coordinate them with hardware development cycles.

With just days left until the official announcement, many Mac users are eager to know whether their current device will support the new macOS. Based on recent rumors and leaks, here’s a list of Mac models expected to be compatible with macOS 26 :

📋 Rumored macOS 26 Compatible Devices:

  • MacBook Air : M1 and newer models
  • MacBook Pro : 2019 and later (13-inch and 14/16-inch models)
  • iMac : 2020 and newer versions
  • Mac mini : M1 and later chips
  • Mac Studio : All released variants
  • Mac Pro : 2019 and newer models

This information reportedly comes from an anonymous source cited by MacRumors , originally shared via a private X account. One notable detail in the leak is that Apple may discontinue software support for the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020 model with two Thunderbolt 3 ports) — a move that has sparked concern among some longtime Mac users.

The 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro was offered in two configurations: one powered by Intel processors and another featuring Apple’s M1 chip. The rumored cutoff appears to target the Intel-based variant , which fits into a broader trend of Apple phasing out support for older Intel Macs in favor of Apple Silicon.

As part of this transition, Apple is expected to drop support for more Intel-powered devices this year, potentially marking the end of the line for certain legacy models.

The WWDC 2025 keynote begins on June 9 , where Apple is anticipated to officially announce not only macOS 26 but also the full list of supported devices across its ecosystem. We already have early reports about which Apple Watch models might receive watchOS 26 , but the full details will be revealed soon.

Until then, take any pre-WWDC leaks with caution — but stay tuned, as we’ll bring you full coverage and analysis once Apple takes the stage.
