Which Macs run macOS Sequoia?

macOS Sequoia was released on 16 September 2024; a newer macOS has shipped since. Apple’s compatibility page (support.apple.com/en-gb/120282, read 12 October 2026) names 42 entries and leaves out 2 Macs that were on its macOS Sonoma list: MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019); MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018). The list covers 55 of the 88 Macs we track that were released by the day macOS Tahoe 26 shipped (15 September 2025). 5 more Macs are not named on Apple’s list; their own newest-macOS rows come from another Apple page, cited below. The other 28 Macs in that group do not run macOS Sequoia: Apple’s list does not name them and no Apple page we cite gives them that release.

The source

One page: Apple Support (UK) — macOS Sequoia is compatible with these computers, published by Apple on 15 September 2025 and read on 12 October 2026. The table is that list, model by model in Apple’s order, with the Mac on this site each model covers. Beside it is that Mac’s own “newest macOS” row, which cites the Apple page that gives it; the site’s tests check that a Mac on this list has a row naming macOS Sequoia or a newer release. The release dates come from endoflife.date — Apple macOS, read on 2 October 2026.

Scope: the 88 Macs we track that were released by 15 September 2025, the day macOS Tahoe 26 shipped. The other 12 Macs were released after that, shipped with a newer macOS, and are not part of this list’s question, so they are not shown. A Mac that Apple’s list names is shown whatever its release date.

What changed from macOS Sonoma

Apple’s list for macOS Sonoma (Apple Support (UK) — macOS Sonoma is compatible with these computers, read 12 October 2026) names 35 entries. 2 of them are not on the macOS Sequoia list, and all 2 are Intel Macs. They are named here as Apple’s macOS Sonoma list names them, with a link to our page for each Mac that has one: MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019) (Apple MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019)); MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018) (Apple MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018)).

How long each will keep getting updates

Apple publishes no date when a Mac stops getting macOS or security updates. Each Mac’s update page states the newest macOS Apple lists it for and the pattern in Apple’s past releases, labelled as the inference it is.

Apple’s macOS Sequoia list prints only “MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023)” and “(16-inch, 2023)”, which are the January 2023 M2 Pro and M2 Max models. It does not name the November 2023 M3 MacBook Pros, so they are not named on Apple’s list. That is a gap in the list’s model names, not a statement that they cannot run macOS Sequoia.
