This will not affect me. Still thinking about expunging Ventura from the one drive on which it is installed.

Basically your Mac will need a secure enclave representative - either T2 or Apple Silicon - to work with all Sonoma's security features like passkeys and all that fancy sharing...

I'll be interested to know what Sonoma allows with Managed Apple IDs.

Recent Intel iMacs do not have a T2 chip and are supported.

I guess they will only be partially supported?

Recent Intel iMacs including iMac Pros (2019) and 27-inch iMacs dating from 2020 have T2 chips.

Yeah I'd imagine all Sonoma's high security features won't work with them then...
