  6. This is endoflife.date’s cycle end for Ventura, not necessarily the day of Apple’s last patch. The newest macOS Apple lists this Mac for is macOS Ventura. endoflife.date records security updates for Ventura as ended on 15 September 2025. Source: endoflife.date. Read 22 Sep 2026

  7. The three most recent earlier releases in this line with a recorded end are shown. Each span runs from release to the end of security updates for the newest macOS that Mac ran, as endoflife.date lists it: its cycle end, not necessarily Apple’s last patch. Only Macs with a release day are listed; one known only by an announcement or a month is left out. Where Apple’s date is the day the Mac could be ordered online, the row says so. This is precedent, not a prediction. Apple publishes no date when a Mac stops getting macOS or security updates.

  8. An inference from Apple’s past releases, not a commitment from Apple, which publishes no date when a Mac stops getting macOS or security updates. A Mac missing from a new macOS compatibility list is not supported by that release; this page changes when that list does.
