macOS 27 is past the Intel->Apple Silicon transition. It won't support Intel CPUs. It also will have a pared-down Rosetta 2 for minimal Intel translation support.
What gets me is that watchOS 27 won't support my 2022 Apple Watch Series 7 but macOS 27 will support my M1 MacBook Air.
I only use an Apple Watch for the heart-related functionality. It isn't a part of my style, if I have a style, that is.
The heart-related functionality has not been extremely reliable, though. Using the computer and then, dropping my hand for a while is considered a standing activity. Playing video games ferociously counts toward my Move goal. It does detect when my heart rate is over 200, which happens far too often. I don't want to spend money on a newer watch. I just hope they send security updates.
In any case, Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6 had no PowerPC code available to run. It was an Intel-only version. macOS 27 will have no Intel code to run. It is an Apple Silicon-only release.
It still took years to optimize it by which time they Adobe-d it by adding functionality before clearing out the bugs. Switching to Catalina on my 3rd generation quad-core i7 didn't impress me with performance enhancements.
I'm hoping beyond hope that Apple finds a way to use Claude by Anthropic to find inconsistencies in their code, once the U.S. government lifts the ban on certain models' use.
I don't use Safari because it's like a Steel Sieve. It may seem strong but it has so many holes and having its back-end embedded in with the operating system code is a problem worthy of Microsoft, who did it earlier than Apple did with Internet Exploder. (I use Firefox mostly.)
Apple has so much ability to do things well, but as they've become bigger, they've become sloppy. Besides, when you're running on a Motorola 68040 with 36 MB of RAM, you don't have room to be sloppy. When you have matrix processing and 96 GB of RAM, the math changes.
I hope for the best.
