Apple Website Lists Apple Intelligence for M2 Macs, Conflicting With Support Docs

The discrepancy appears to be a publishing mistake tied to a Vision Pro update.

Overview

  • The U.S. Apple Intelligence webpage now states Mac compatibility as "M2 or later," replacing the previous "M1 or later" wording.
  • Regional versions of the page in the UK and Canada still list M1 Macs as supported, underscoring a conflict with the U.S. listing.
  • Apple's support article dated November 10 continues to specify "Mac with M1 or later," indicating no documented change to requirements.
  • Archived snapshots suggest Apple updated the Vision Pro line to "M2 or later" to reflect a new M5 model, and the Mac line appears to have been altered by mistake.
  • Outlets including 9to5Mac and MacRumors have sought comment from Apple and anticipate a correction, with no official policy change announced.
