Sequoia is both more and less generous to Intel Macs, depending on the model


Sequoia is both more and less generous to Intel Macs, depending on the model.

As the Intel Mac era has wound down over the last couple of years, we've been painstakingly tracking the amount of software support that each outgoing model is getting. So far, we've found that owners of Intel Macs made in the mid-to-late 2010s are definitely getting fewer major macOS updates and fewer years' worth of security updates than owners of Intel Macs made in the late 2000s and early 2010s but that these systems are still getting more generous support than old PowerPC Macs did after Apple switched to Intel's processors. Apple has occasionally suggested to us that it also uses these "vintage" and "obsolete" labels to pick which Macs are supported by a new macOS update and which aren't.
