Which Macs will run Apple’s macOS Catalina?
Apple kept to past practice yesterday when it said virtually all Macs able to run the current version of macOS will be supported by the upcoming upgrade, dubbed “Catalina,” when it ships this fall.
On Monday, the Cupertino, Calif.. company unveiled mac OS 10.15, or Catalina, at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The free upgrade, likely to be released in September, includes a host of security enhancements, several revamped first-party apps, support for iPad apps and more.
Odd, even
Apple has relied on an odd-even cycle for its macOS upgrades’ system requirements. The cadence has alternately retained the prior year’s models on the new version’s support list (odd-numbered years, like this one, with odd-numbered editions, as in 10.15) and dropped models from the list (even-numbered years, even-numbered editions).
