DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER! But according to MacRumors, Apple has all but announced that some new features that’ll be in MacOS Monterey will NOT be available on Intel Macs.

Located on the new MacOS Monterey page, it says some features may require the M1 Chip, including:

Portrait Mode blurred backgrounds in FaceTime videos
Live Text for copying and pasting, looking up, or translating text within photos
An interactive 3D globe of Earth in the Maps app
More detailed maps in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London in the Maps app
Text-to-speech in more languages, including Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish
On-device keyboard dictation that performs all processing completely offline
Unlimited keyboard dictation (previously limited to 60 seconds per instance)

We hope these specs will change.
