Reflecting on the Transition to Apple Silicon

Six years ago, the community predicted the 'end' of the traditional Hackintosh. With the arrival of macOS Sequoia and the complete phase-out of Intel support, that timeline has officially been nailed.

What this means for you:

  1. Intel Longevity: While your current build works, macOS Sequoia is the final destination for most Intel hardware. Beyond this, security updates will become the only priority.
  2. The M-Series Shift: For professional stability, the move to native Apple Silicon is now the recommended path. The 'headache vs performance' ratio has finally tipped in favor of genuine Macs.
  3. Legacy Preservation: Don't delete your EFI! These builds are now part of computing history, representing the peak of the Intel-Mac era.
