I have a 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro from 2019 with an i9 processor and 64 GB of RAM. A machine that should be fast enough to handle any macOS task smoothly and efficiently.
Unfortunately, it seems that support for Intel Macs has been completely canceled. I’ve even experienced kernel panics lately—something that never happened before. This is, without a doubt, the worst macOS development I’ve ever had to endure. And I’ve been a Macintosh user for a very, very long time.
Many things no longer work at all. Spotlight, for example, completely cripples my system performance. The fan spins up, and many searches lead to nothing. The Spotlight index seems to be completely broken. Rebuilding the index doesn’t solve the problem, as the behavior doesn’t change.
Has anyone else experienced issues with macOS on Intel Macs? I fear we’re being forced to switch to M-series machines - shame on you, this is not sustainable. Not everyone is able to spend thousands of dollars on a new computer every few years.
Best regards!
