1 suggestionIBM has explicitly committed to shipping a native Apple Silicon build of SPSS Statistics in release 32.0.1, scheduled for September 2026 — which is now only about four months away. The current version you are running is Intel-only and requires Rosetta 2 to function on Apple Silicon Macs. IBM's own SPSS Statistics Architect has confirmed on the IBM community forums (as recently as March 2026) that the native build is on track for the 32.0.1 release. Since that deadline is imminent and you have several months before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, the best course of action is to monitor IBM's release announcements and update to version 32.0.1 as soon as it becomes available. This will give you a native-performance SPSS experience well ahead of the Rosetta 2 discontinuation date. If you cannot wait for the September 2026 release, contact IBM support to check whether an earlier beta or release candidate is available for testing.
