Today at WWDC, Apple introduced macOS 10.14 Mojave, which will bring Dark Mode, support for HomeKit, new apps, a redesigned App Store and much more to Apple computers. The new generation of the system is already available to registered developers, thanks to which, among other things, we know the list of Macs on which it can be installed.
Unfortunately, this year's version of macOS is a bit more demanding, so some Apple computer models will fall short. Specifically, Apple has stopped supporting models from 2009, 2010 and 2011, with the exception of Mac Pros, but even those cannot be updated now, as support will arrive in one of the following beta versions.
Install macOS Mojave on:
- MacBook (Early 2015 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or later)
- MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer)
- Mac mini (Late 2012 or later)
- iMac (Late 2012 or later)
- iMac Pro (2017)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013, mid 2010 and mid 2012 models preferably with GPUs supporting Metal)
I wonder what is so different about Macbook Air (late 2011) from (mid 2012) that 10.14 can no longer run on it.
They're pigs... It won't work on a Mac mini 2.7 GHz, Core i7, Mid 2011 - how is it worse than the supported Mac mini, Late 2012? Fucking business policy... Tim Cook, so introduce the new Mac mini, if you're also a rainbow dude !!! You can put HomePod, rainbow bracelets and animations with sticking out tongues everywhere.
For all of you upset that your Mac isn't supported... it's because GPUs in older devices don't support Metal, which replaces OpenGL in Mojave.
