If you were someone who was waiting for the macOS Monterey reveal during Apple's opening WWDC keynote and clinging on to your Intel-powered MacBook Pro while at it, your cause of concern is valid.

While nothing much was revealed during the keynote, it now appears that Apple is indeed trying to make devices that run its own silicon a bit more exclusive. The fine print on Apple's dedicated website has revealed that Intel-powered Mac devices will not be getting all of the features in macOS Monterey.

As stopped by folks over at The Verge, the macOS Monterey features we're referring to here include on-device dictation and neural text-to-speech voices in Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish. The list of unsupported features further extends to more of its core app that include Apple Maps. The latest globe view of Apple Maps won't be available to Intel Mac and neither will the Live Text feature within the Photos app. FaceTime’s Portrait mode also joins the list of exceptions.

That said, last June, Apple did announce that it would "continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come" when the company initially announced the adaptation to its custom-designed processors.

It is also not known yet whether any of these features will eventually come to Intel Macs so we'll have to see if Apple will share any update about this with its users in the future. For now, we just know that some of the main features announced will require a Mac with an M1 chip, such as a Mac mini, 13-inch Macbook Pro, any Macbook Air, and iMac launched since November 2020.
