Apple Devices Losing Support in 2026
Been holding on to that old iPhone, iPad, or Mac for a few years now? 2026 is the year to upgrade. Apple will stop releasing software updates for some older models this year, including any Mac devices that rely on Intel processing chips. If you rely on any technology losing support this year, your system will be at risk when Apple stops releasing security patches for your device.
Consider upgrading to a newer model this year to continue receiving support to keep your data secure. Favarger Consulting’s team of certified Apple consultants can help your office transition to newer, more secure equipment in no time. Get in touch with us today to keep your Apple devices and systems secure.
Time to Replace your Intel Mac
MacOS 26 Tahoe, which is expected to release later this year, will be the last macOS compatible with Intel-based Macs. If your office relies on any Intel-based Macs—including multiple MacBook Pro models, one iMac model, and the 2019 Mac Pro—it’s time to consider upgrading your equipment. Since these devices will be able to run MacOS 26, they’re not obsolete just yet, but this is a sign that the end is near for Intel-based models.
Not sure if your Mac runs on Intel? Here’s a how-to guide we wrote to help you check your Mac’s system information in a few short clicks. If it turns out your Mac is one of the models losing support this year, contact Favarger Consulting. We’ll make sure your office has a smooth transition to technology that meets your company’s budget and goals.
Better Efficiency, Longer Battery, And Less Stress
Still on the fence about upgrading your equipment? Along with continued software updates, newer Mac models are faster, more responsive, and more efficient than outdated Intel based devices. The latest M4 Apple Silicon chips score up to 66% better than flagship Intel chips in single-core performance tests. Plus, with high efficiency and low energy use, Apple Silicon Macs are less prone to heating and offer up to double the battery life of some Intel models. Switching from Intel to Apple Silicon won’t just keep your system secure, it’ll make your life easier.
