Totally makes sense, macOS Golden Gate will no longer run x64 apps.
Lammy•55m ago
Making e-waste is cool because Apple say so, and they are very rich so anything they do is obviously a good idea.
datakan•54m ago
What e-waste would you be referring to?
outworlder•51m ago
Probably due to the fact that older machines won't get updates
joshl32532•46m ago
It's still functional and will get security updates, no? No reason to throw it away?
fsiefken•49m ago
There is still Linux and/or OpenJDK to run on intel or powerpc macs
flohofwoe•24m ago
FWIW old Macs (I have a 2014 MBP still lying around) still boot up and work, they just don't get the latest OS updates anymore.
DJBunnies•23m ago
Lighten up, friend. Oracle dropping Java support does not an e-waste make.
jherskovic•41m ago
This keeps getting posted and is not true. Rosetta is still present and working. It throws a deprecation warning notice but otherwise runs fine.

It's macOS 28 that will no longer run x86_64 apps, although games are exempt. Rosetta is basically going game only at that point. They haven't announced how long it will keep working in this capacity.

Teever•21m ago
Have they announced how they’re going to make it game only? A whitelist based on a hash of the executable? That seems cumbersome.
klausa•17m ago
The basic answer is ability to run x86_64 will still be there, but the system frameworks (apart from like OpenGL shims etc.) will no longer be shipped with x86_64 slices.
spullara•56m ago
seems very reasonable to me
mark_l_watson•48m ago
That sounds reasonable, Intel Macs aren't much used anymore.
kalleboo•42m ago
I'm curious if there are any decently representative use share stats out there for Mac Intel vs ARM. I tried finding some a while ago and found nothing really conclusive (mostly for niches like developer tools or games - what's the long tail look like?).
brcmthrowaway•39m ago
Browser communites would have this, no?
kalleboo•32m ago
All the Mac browsers report as Intel even on Apple Silicon to reduce fingerprinting/avoid being detected as PowerPC
flohofwoe•27m ago
Browsers stopped reporting "real" user agents a long time ago as fingerprinting protection.

Wasn't Java once a "write once, run everywhere"? Not that this affects me personally (I use Linux primarily; and have a Win10 machine for testing on my left hand side here), but it seems strange that Oracle supports fewer operating systems rather than more. Perhaps Oracle aims for a windows11-only Java version ... where everyone must verify his or her age.
pjmlp•37m ago
It is open source, anyone is free to send patches, given that OpenJDK is like Linux distros.
avalys•28m ago
Apple no longer supports this platform. There is no reason to target it for new releases. Java is not abandoning MacOS.
iSnow•24m ago
It's only Java on macOS for x64 that gets dropped. Java on Apple's M-type CPUs will still be alive and kicking.
bananamogul•19m ago
"a Win10 machine for testing on my left hand side here..."

Well, the Latin word for "left" is "sinister", so that tracks.

k_dev•2m ago
Write once, run everywhere refers to the target bytecode running on a compliant JVM. Since apple itself has mentioned to officially drop intel support, OpenJDK maintainers have no reason to continue support on a deprecated hardware. That said, if there is any enterprise/ community that requires a port for intel macs then, they can maintain it. link to become a maintainer: https://openjdk.org/projects/
amiga386•40m ago
If this is as stated, then Oracle will still offer macOS/x64 ports of Java 11 LTS, Java 17 LTS, Java 21 LTS and Java 25 LTS.

Java 25 LTS was released last year. All these LTS versions are still receiving updates. You'll only be in trouble if you need some new feature of Java that will only begin to exist in JDK 27 or later, but want to run on macOS/x64.

splix•35m ago
I guess I'm the only one who is still on x64. I don't like I'm pushed to migrate only because the software wants that, otherwise the hardware works with no problem.
teaearlgraycold•34m ago
Can you run Linux?
splix•24m ago
Why? I can upgrade, that's not a problem. I'm just saying macOS works fine so far, almost all of the software works too. But I see increasing amount of announcements like this one suggesting that I'll have to replace hardware to get the latest versions. So I guess I will do that only to be able to use that software, not to get better performance.
ktm5j•22m ago
Well Apple isn't making amd64 systems anymore, so software support will naturally start to waver.
splix•17m ago
What I wanted to say that I don't like exactly that. The hardware is fine, but software is not.
afavour•15m ago
> I'll have to replace hardware to get the latest versions

Or switch software. Windows will run via Boot Camp and depending on your hardware Linux might work too.

bananamogul•20m ago
Ten minutes later, I'm still trying to figure out the role of "thus" in this headline.
ajkjk•18m ago
I like it. Bring back thus as a normal word. Also thusly.
ZiiS•10m ago
The phrases is taken from the email. Apple stopped ... thus Oracle ...
radicality•10m ago
I think it’s clear from the “Motivation” section, as it’s actually preceded by another sentence there.

> Apple has transitioned its hardware products to the AArch64 processor architecture and is phasing out support for x64. Oracle engineers will thus stop maintaining the macOS/x64 port as of JDK 27.

qphe95•17m ago
People said AI was going to replace all programmers, yet AI can't even maintain a x64 macOS port of Java.
vips7L•15m ago
LLM code isn't allowed in OpenJdk.
twosdai•14m ago
Isn't this the paid version of the JDK?

EDIT: I should actually click the link, not just read the title. Rip.

vips7L•12m ago
The paid version of the JDK is OpenJdk.
qphe95•12m ago
Thats an arbitrary decision that can easily be reversed.
ZiiS•8m ago
Practically that means code that is identifiable as LLM, if the code is indistinguishable it is indistinguishable.
Quitschquat•13m ago
Guess it's time to upgrade from my 2014 MBP
syncsynchalt•7m ago
You did well to skip the 2015-2020 era (butterfly keyboards, touchbar).

With that said anything M1 or newer is going to be a delightful upgrade for you. An enormous jump in performance, battery life, and thermal performance.

mikhael28•11m ago
If you have Apple Intel hardware, I strongly strongly strongly recommend you migrate to Linux. It works amazingly on MacOS, except I guess the sound drivers aren't perfect. Too many security holes in old, unpatched software.
guessmyname•7m ago
> […] migrate to Linux. It works amazingly on MacOS […]

Makes no sense. Linux is an operating system, and macOS is another operating system. Are you saying that people should setup a virtual machine with Linux inside their macOS installation? Or did you mean to write Mac computer instead of macOS?

charcircuit•6m ago
At this point it would be better to migrate to a new MacBook. There has been a lot performance and efficiency improvements with M1+.
questionableans•4m ago
I second that. I wouldn’t buy an Intel Mac specifically to run Linux, but my T2 Mac Minis work well for me on Linux. I did have to copy some Broadcom firmware from macOS, and I keep a small macOS installation in order to access recovery mode settings.
Not on macOS at least, the Firefox user agent on my uptodate M1 MBP says that I'm on "Intel Mac OS X 10.15".

PS: and on my Win11 machine Firefox says that I'm on 'Windows NT 10.0', which AFAIK is the same NT version that was also reported on Win10.

June 2026 Steam Survey[1] says 23% Intel and Homebrew 30d [2] says 27% Intel. My gut says 20-25% is a reasonable ballpark.

Apple generally provides 6-8 years of OS support for hardware. My 6.5 year old 2019 Macbook Pro works fine with macOS 26; macOS 27 will drop support in September 2026; macOS 28 will drop Rosetta Intel support. macOS 26 get updates thru September 2028 at which point all Intel mac hardware will be >8 years old.

tomstockmail•15m ago
You can install Linux on the hardware and get full x86_64 support again.
splix•2m ago
Have just read above that it's possible. It's interesting actually. So I guess I'll do that once I buy a new mac. I have a maxed out pro, with i9 and so on, so throwing it await would be a shame
iSnow•26m ago
Java 25 is an LTS, I guess you can use that for a couple of years still. But at some point of time, macOS will be too old and all kinds of software will no longer install.
ktm5j•24m ago
That's just how things go. But, existing Oracle JDK versions will continue to work, and openjdk might continue to support osx/amd64 as a target.. so I wouldn't worry too much about this.
evilduck•21m ago
The writing has been on the wall for the last 7 years and the LTS of JDK 25 goes until 2030, 11 years from the point Apple announced their intentions. Java for Mac apps or native Java backend development has always been niche as well. For Java development for Linux hosting, you still have a path forwards beyond 2030 with virtualization. How's your SPARC dev machine holding up?
syncsynchalt•13m ago
> the hardware works with no problem

In the same way that PowerPC and m68k hardware still works, sure. Apple silicon is so performant that (much like those previous two hardware jumps) it's not worth maintaining support for the old arch at this point.

My mid 2012 air had trouble with os x about 10 years ago. I moved to nixos and haven't had any issues since.
