Actually , as new releases of MacOS and iOS are traditionally announced ( and beta released) at WWDC in June, but publicly released around October, that means the limited support for Intel will begin closer to the year 2029…
I think 6 years ( beginning in 2020 ) is a reasonable time frame for developpers to transition their code from Intel to the Silicon Mx processors ?

EDIT : sorry, MacOS 2028 will be released in late 2027, not 2028 as I wrote. So , full support of Intel will diminish starting October of next year.
( I wish there was a way to edit our existing posts instead of having to post new ones to rectify something in it )

It is confusing, isn’t it?
But it looks like macOS 26 (released 2025!) will continue to support Intel chip:

My mistake.

I agree with pretty much all of that. All 3 of my apps store user data in XML. XML is far from perfect, but it is well known standard and text based.
