1 suggestionIBM has publicly committed to delivering a native Apple Silicon build of SPSS Statistics in release 32.0.1, scheduled for September 2026 — less than four months away. Until that release ships, the current Intel-only build continues to run under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs. You should plan to upgrade to version 32.0.1 as soon as it becomes available, since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support entirely in macOS 28 (Fall 2027), after which any Intel-only version will stop launching altogether. Check IBM's SPSS Statistics download page or your existing installation's Help menu periodically for the September 2026 release announcement. If you rely on SPSS for active research or business work, mark your calendar now so you do not miss the upgrade window.
