You'll still get updates, just not the newest version of macOS. It's always hard when hardware is left behind but it's inevitable.
I would like to know why technically support for the 2010-2012 MacPro had to be dropped. Not sure I understand it.

I just maxed mine out with 16 GB of Ram last month.. Now I am on a 1 TB SSD with 16 Gigs of Ram on a 2.9 i7... works fantastic for everything I need it to do.I love it. Mine still works beautifully.

Still waiting to hear clarification on that. Some sites report that you can use 2010-2012 cMP's with a Mojave-compatible GPU, but I wasn't able to find anything official from Apple. All it takes is to download the beta and try... but that's not my line of work and I have no time for such shenanigans. ;-) I'm sure we'll hear more in the coming weeks.I would like to know why technically support for the 2010-2012 MacPro had to be dropped.

It's a real bummer (the only one for me from the day)...looking at my last year cheese grater Mac Pro and 30 inch Monster (bought them when I saw the trash can) and then glancing at the starting price for the new ones....I am not going to be up for $10k for the low end machine though.
Besides it doesn't look like they have internal hard drive space anyways which I would want for the price. I tried to stay out of the iMac orbit for so long...but that looks like where I'll be going.
I assume it’s because its vintage status is almost up and so they just don’t want to support t and want people to buy new machines. They couldn’t really do that with any other 2012 machine because they kinda messed up their lineup.

I'll probably stay on my kitted-out cMP and 2012MBP for another couple of years. Can still do 4K editing for broadcast and run current security-patched OS X builds with no wonky hacks. So why not?
Bad form, Apple. I know you've just released a new Mac Pro (albeit, one that's out of the ordinary user's price range), but for those who just upgraded their 2010-2012 cMP graphics cards last year with the expectation of a few more years of updates...
Shameful.
A 2010 Mac Pro has more than enough power to run the upcoming version of Mac OS, and quite likely any system software Apple releases for the next two decades. I know the 80s and 90s had us replacing our computers every few years, but we've hit a relative plateau over the past decade, and claiming that an 2010 8-core Xeon can't run what a 2017 dual-core i5 can is just disingenuous.Shameful? Really, Shameful? No, the alternative is to dwell in stale software, and there would be more complaints about that. If you use the machine for business, it is time to upgrade. Keep your computer up to date, keep your business up to date. Hanging on to older CPUs is not a good business strategy.
Me too. Late 2012 iMac 27 inch when it was super high demand.glad my 2012 iMac is still supported. This buys me another year before I need to worry about a replacement.
Macbook Pro, Late 2013 users rejoice!
2012 Mac Mini will be supported for another 2 years, its was still sold in 2016.
Edit: Now I think of it, it's the 2012 MBP, I have both, the MBP was still up for sale in 2016, not sure about the Mac Mini, it's got the same hardware so why shouldn't it.
Woo hoo! My daughter and I have late-2013 MBPs. Probably the best investment I made was paying a premium for a notebook that’ll last. If I had gone economy with a basic Windows notebook, it would have been replaced a few times by now.
What is? This is the same list of Macs that can run 10.14 Mojave. Unless I missed something.
You didn’t miss anything.
Some people just need to find something to grumble about.

not saying don't innovate or update. But I despise the throwaway culture we live in. I'm in the small minority, but I'd like to see computers (especially one's that cost more than $1000) come to be viewed as appliances more than apparel (think about it). When I buy a refrigerator, a couch, or a car, I expect it to last me 15-20 years. I will pay for quality engineering, but in return I'll determine when to EOL my property.
This is the philosophical problem I have with Apple and most other companies in the hardware and software industries. Most people don't seem to notice (or mind) that they're being fleeced, and the analogy of the frog in the boiling water is not out of place here.
And if that is the case, they could permit acceptable graphics cards to run the new OS versions, just as they have for Mojave....Except...it has nothing to do with the processor and everything to do with the video card support.
The 2011 MBP isn't on the supported list though.2011 MBP machine still going strong as well. I need a new battery because I used it so much! Can’t wait for the update!!
