Which Macs run macOS Tahoe 26?

macOS Tahoe 26 was released on 15 September 2025; a newer macOS has shipped since. Apple’s compatibility page (support.apple.com/en-gb/122867, read 2 October 2026) names 37 entries and leaves out 11 Macs that were on its macOS Sequoia list: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports); MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports); MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019); MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports); MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018); MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports); MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020); iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019); iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019); iMac Pro (2017); Mac mini (2018). The list covers 52 of the 96 Macs we track that were released by the day macOS 27 Golden Gate shipped (14 September 2026). 5 more Macs are not named on Apple’s list; their own newest-macOS rows come from another Apple page, cited below. The other 39 Macs in that group do not run macOS Tahoe 26: 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 Tahoe 26 is compatible with these computers, published by Apple on 14 September 2026 and read on 2 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 Tahoe 26 or a newer release. The release dates come from endoflife.date — Apple macOS, read on 2 October 2026.

Scope: the 96 Macs we track that were released by 14 September 2026, the day macOS 27 Golden Gate shipped. The other 4 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 Sequoia

Apple’s list for macOS Sequoia (Apple Support (UK) — macOS Sequoia is compatible with these computers, read 12 October 2026) names 42 entries. 11 of them are not on the macOS Tahoe 26 list, and all 11 are Intel Macs. They are named here as Apple’s macOS Sequoia list names them, with a link to our page for each Mac that has one: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) (Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)); MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) (Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)); MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) (Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)); MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) (Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)); MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) (Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)); MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) (Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)); MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020) (Apple MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)); iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) (Apple iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)); iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019) (Apple iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019)); iMac Pro (2017) (Apple iMac Pro (2017)); Mac mini (2018) (Apple Mac mini (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 Tahoe 26 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 Tahoe 26.
