Yet another example that Apple caring about the environment is absolutely rubbish. They sold the 2018 Mini into 2023 and it’s allready dropped. Shame on Apple, pathetic for a company with the money and resources that Apple has.

This could be it for Intel. My 2019 16" MacBook Pro will get almost the typical 7 years at least.

For those of us who bought the last generation Intels before Apple Silicon was announced, this softens the pain.

Probably the last macOS version for x86, unless Apple would want to support the Mac Pro 2019 a bit longer, because lets face it, 6 years for such a device is just pathetic.

Then again, they're killing of a MacBook Air from 2020 too, which is also pathetic. The last 5 years have been disastrous for Apples support life cycle for Intel devices, and while it doesn't make up for that, I hope that M1 Macs will see much better support.
