Should We update our Intel-based Mac to macOS 14 Sonoma?
A developer’s point of view on updating to macOS Sonoma
Believe it or not, apple won’t manufacture Intel-based Mac computers anymore, And sooner or later, macOS won’t support Intel-based Macs, this is a fact, but because of some business and customer considerations, companies usually don’t remove software support for old products directly, and a famous approach is to release a newer version of the software (or OS), which either is incompatible with old hardware or runs hard with lag on it.
I updated my intel-based MacBook (MacBook Pro 2019 16") to macOS 14 (Sonoma), and I want to share my experience as a Developer with you in this story.
