I'm in the market for a new laptop, and if I knew how long the Intel macs would be supported, I could see myself picking one up. Unfortunately, nothing was said about that so I guess I'm holding off.


Standard Apple support is 7 years from last date of sale. 2 years for transition, so seems reasonable to expect support most of the way to 2030.


Apple dropped macOS support for their powerpc architecture after only 3 years, so any claims of hardware support being 7 years is not very meaningful


Only ‘for years to come’


They said the transition should take 2 years. I wouldn't expect much more than that.


Disagree. He said Intel Macs would be supported for "years to come" and that they had more in the pipeline. They'll be supported for significantly longer than 2 years.
