Today Apple releases Mojave 10.14, one year after the launch of macOS High Sierra 10.13 with eGPU support. We have been following the development of this latest version since WWDC18. During the past six months Apple made significant progress by narrowing their focus to Thunderbolt 3 Macs and select AMD Radeon graphics cards.
Whereas High Sierra will run on, the oldest Macs supported by Mojave are 2010 Mac Pros with Metal-compatible graphics cards installed. Otherwise the cutoff is typically 2012, and in fact no basic MacBooks are supported prior to 2015 models. The complete compatibility list includes:. MacBook (Early 2015 or later). MacBook Air (Mid-2012 or later). MacBook Pro (Mid-2012 or later). Mac mini (Late 2012 or later).
iMac (Late 2012 or later). iMac Pro (all models). Mac Pro (Late 2013). Mac Pro (2010 or later with Metal-compatible GPU) It's not clear why would have higher specifications, but the answer could be related to GPU performance. Apple is in the new OS, and the software may simply be more visually demanding, supporting features like time-based Dynamic Desktops, 32-person FaceTime calls, and the ability to edit photos, videos, and PDF documents within Quick Look.
Some other will include a long-demanded Dark Mode, stacked desktop icons, and a Gallery View in Finder. Several previously iOS-only apps are coming to the OS, such as Home and Apple News, and the Mac App Store is being redesigned in a manner similar to its iOS counterpart. also coming this fall - will support all of the same devices as iOS 11, going as far back as 2013's iPhone 5s. Planned Obsolesce! /s Seriously though, I bet its because of Metal and Apple dropping support for OpenGL/CL.
Thats still a good amount of Macs that support this new version of macOS.some as far back as 8yrs ago, going on 9yrs by the time macOS 10.15 its released. If you're someone who uses an older Mac you have to know there will eventually be a cutoff where your Mac is no longer supported. Its the chance you take by continuously using an older Mac. And its not like your Mac just stops working just because you're not using Apple's latest version of macOS. You can still easily use your Mac with High Sierra for at least 2-3yrs if you choose to do so.
Edited June 2018. Obsoleting Macs that are only 3 years old? Though im not personally affected by that, it’s wrong. I dig Mojave.
Love how they are making it more compatible with iOS without merging the two, etc. Computers 6 years old and newer need to be able to upgrade. Apple itself defines the timeframe of an obsolete computer and they aren’t even following their own protocol here. I guess this is the Mac version of the iPhone 6/ios11 “batterygate.” It will likely help nee macs to be purchased.
But it’s wrong. And that’s coming from a long time Apple evangelist.

What Macs that are only 3yrs old kicked out? If you're thinking about the MacBook, that came out in 2015 so there wasn't a model before that. Obsoleting Macs that are only 3 years old?

No 3 year old Macs are being obsoleted. Also, there is s difference in meaning between not receiving new platform versions and being obsoleted by support. I'm going to be in the market for a new MBP later this year. My 2011 didn't make the cut, obviously. I prefer to buy in the front end of a hardware cycle and we are on the back end, so I'll wait for a new MBP. Just wish that i7 MBP rumor had been true, and I would already have one on order. I'll limp through the rest of this year.
I've had a 7.5 year run with this MBP. That's pretty good. I upgraded it from 8 to 16 gigs, stuffed a 2 TB SSD into it. Nothing to complain about there. I had to send it in for service once due to the display craziness a few years ago, but it survived.
IIRC, I dropped it off at an apple store on a Friday and it was back on Monday/Tuesday the following week, so that was good. It wasn't promised to be returned until the following week, so that worked out. I've had similar experience with Dell and Lenovo to, so its not like Apple is overwhelmingly different in under promising and over delivering. I just don't like the direction of non upgradeability of the macs now. Apple prices their stuff on the high end.
It is good hardware, but I don't consider it to be the best. Basically, I have to pay a premium just to do iOS development. Oh well, such is life. The 2012 Mac Mini bumped with 16GB of RAM, easily outperforms any new Mac Mini that is currently being sold, so I fail to understand why they would obsolete this line anytime soon. Add a SSD to the 2012 Mac Mini, and it's a remarkably fast and stable platform, especially if you can get your hands on one of the i7 models. What's more, the 2012 Mac Mini sported the capablilty to add TWO SATA drives, which means you could easily add two SDD drives, and wind up with quite a little screamer. I fail to understand why Apple would remove the capability from the user, to upgrade the Mac Mini, when this was BUILT INTO this platform, from the beginning.
Steve Jobs created the Mac Mini to give the budget conscious consumer, a low-cost of entry into the wonderful world of Apple, and Tim Cook as done everything in his power to poison this wonderful little device. Tim, stop poisoning the well. It's counter-producive, and it's not winning you any new customers.

The Mac mini isn't really holding Apple back. Its not a big seller and never was so I'm not sure why you're thinking Apple is not gaining new customers because of limiting the Mac mini or not updating it. Once Apple does update it, its not like they're going to start flying off shelves. Obsoleting Macs that are only 3 years old? Though im not personally affected by that, it’s wrong. I dig Mojave.
