Looks like MAC iOS Catalina is not supported for pre-2015 MacBook Pros. Why?

Looks like MAC iOS Catalina is not supported for pre-2015 MacBook Pros. Why? Makes for another reason I got my 2015 15” MBP recently.

macOS Catalina (not iOS and not MAC) runs on mid-2012 and newer MacBook Pros.

Oh, how funny would it be if a slip up like that happen today on WWDC stage.

From the 2012 class only Mac Pro is not invited to Catalina.

You’re are correct there ;-!) my bad. Read and typed too quickly, yes MacOS and saw MacBook 2015, not all the other model pre-years supported. Sorry, at least it makes for a good laugh.

Well, at least I know that I will be supported.

What's the opinion here about upgrading to Catalina among those with ~2015 rMBPs? Is anyone worried about slowdowns?

Nope. It actually runs just fine.

Good to know, might install the beta myself then.

Not really. There’s really not much difference in performance between the 2012-2015 models so you definitely won’t see such lagging like you’ve seen on iOS devices
