↩Feature and security updates: end dates not published by Apple.
↩The newest macOS Apple lists this Mac for is macOS Sequoia; Apple’s macOS 27 Golden Gate list does not name it. endoflife.date shows Sequoia still receiving security updates on 22 September 2026. Apple’s habit of patching the two releases before the newest points to those updates ending around autumn 2027; that is an inference, not a commitment.
