Apple's Website Briefly Listed M2 as the Apple Intelligence Requirement for Mac

Apple briefly gave M1 Mac owners a scare over the weekend. The company's US website listed "M2 or later" as the Apple Intelligence requirement for Mac, suggesting — if only for a moment — that the original M1 machines might be cut off from Apple's AI features.

The confusion was short-lived. Apple's official support pages still confirm that Apple Intelligence requires an M1 or later chip, and the M2 wording appears to have been a listing error rather than a policy change.

Still, the episode touched a nerve. M1 Macs remain hugely popular, and any hint that Apple is quietly raising the bar for its AI features gets attention fast. For now, M1 owners can breathe easy — Apple Intelligence isn't going anywhere on their machines.
