Quick-fire questions
When will Apple drop support for macOS Tahoe?
> macOS 26 Tahoe is starting its year of full support, ending with macOS 27 in a year’s time. It then gets two years of security-only support until late summer 2028 before it becomes unsupported. If you’re using Tahoe on an Intel Mac you still have ample time to save up for its replacement.
How much slower is it to use encrypted APFS?
> In most cases, using APFS Encrypted volumes is only 2-5% slower than unencrypted, although when writing to Thunderbolt 5 SSDs that could rise to 10%. Even in the most demanding uses, those won’t be noticeable. FileVault on internal SSDs has no overhead, though, as it’s performed in hardware.
