Which Macos Ventura Features Are Not Supported On Intel-Based Macs?

Which Macos Ventura Features Are Not Supported On Intel-Based Macs?

Apple Has Just Introduced Marcos Ventura. In This Article, We Will Review The Features Of This Operating System That Are Not Supported By Macs Equipped With Intel Chips.

Apple is expected to release the public version of macOS Ventura in October; But given the number of features that were limited to Macs equipped with Apple’s custom chips when macOS Monterey was released, will owners of Macs equipped with Intel chips feel let down by the company again this fall?

Fortunately, this trend does not seem to be the same as last year; Because many essential features of macOS 13 will be fully available to users on devices equipped with Intel and Apple chips.

McRommers points out that as long as your Mac Intel model is compatible with the minimum requirements of macOS Ventura, you will have access to most of the new features of this operating system; However, three exceptions will only be enabled exclusively on Macs equipped with Apple chips.

Live subtitles

macOS Ventura can provide live subtitles for all audio content, and this feature includes FaceTime. This feature allows you to view conversations that are automatically created during a call. Live subtitles will be available in English and only work on iPhone 11 and later, iPad with A12 Bionic chip and later, and Macs equipped with Apple’s chips.

Reference mode with Sidecar

Using this feature, you can set the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display as a second display on your Mac. The reference word (Reference) in this feature refers to the accurate and consistent representation of colors in professional workflows, including checking and verifying, grading, and color mixing.

For example, Apple points to the Da Vinci Resolve interface on the Studio Display, which shows color gradation ranges on the MacBook Pro screen and the screen output image on the iPad Pro M1 in Sidecar mode.

Emoji support in dictation mode

Dictation in macOS Ventura automatically punctuates text with commas, periods, and question marks as you speak. Additionally, you can insert emojis using just your voice. However, Apple says this feature only works on Macs equipped with M1 processors and later.

Ability to dictate in Cantonese (Hong Kong), English (Australia, Canada, India, UK, and the USA), French (France), German (Germany), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin Chinese (Mainland China and Taiwan), and Spanish ( Mexico) is available.

Conclusion

As this short list shows, macOS Ventura is much less restrictive than macOS Monterey for users of Macs equipped with Intel chips.

That said, macOS 13 won’t support some Intel Macs sold between 2013 and 2016; Therefore, your Mac model may not be officially compatible with this new operating system.

Apple has almost completed a two-year transition from Intel processors to its custom processors in Mac computers. This year, the change will be complete when the Mac Pro is equipped with the company’s proprietary chip.

We expect the Cupertino-based tech giant to end software support for devices equipped with Intel chips from 2023 onwards. macOS 13 Ventura is available to developers this week, and Apple plans to release a public beta in July.
