My 2014 5K iMac And 2015 MacBook bite the dust at the same time! If the 30 inch iMacs coming later this year support HDR then its finally time to upgrade - hope they come in orange but not holding my breath...
Apple again displaying how 'environmentally friendly' it is by arbitrarily cutting support for Macs.
2014 mac mini user here. Woah, it‘s still supported!
Hopefully it won’t lose many features compared with the most recent macs.
I’m specially interested on the Continuity+ feature (that I suggested to Craig a year ago)

Yeah, but you bet someone is already finishing the hack for that.
The MacBook Air laptops of 2014 are designated “vintage” products by Apple, whereas the Mac Mini computers of the same year are not. Presumably because Apple stopped selling those Mac Mini computers only in 2018, whereas the MacBook Air of 2014 were discontinued in early 2015.
There are ample hints that Apple ties software support to vintage status now, rather than pure technical capability, at least for Macs.
Well as a MBP 2013 owner I am out of luck for running it but at the same time nothing in Monterey is interesting.
Yeah. Ordered November 2014. Obsolete June 2021. Was a pretty good run. Honestly the best computer I've owned so far.Damn my 2014 iMac Retina takes a kick in the crotch
Not sure, but here’s a site you can use to compare one to the other (on everymac.com)

to be fair.....you can still use it
also, it will get Monterey via the unsupported patching
I'm still running a 2008 mbp on big sur
Don’t forget it was a developers conference - and it’s vital for developers to know about new workout types on iWatch (they have to spend so much time at their desks, poor things).
I purchased 2015 Late 27-inch iMac like 2 weeks ago. I really hope it serves me a bit longer than just a year. It is dumb that iOS devices get continued supports, but much more expensive hardware gets dropped like flies.
Sad, but makes sense in all honesty. I see this as a multi-year transition, with the end goal of Apple to phase Intel out completely, starting with hardware and ending with software. I can imagine by the time all Intel Macs are unsupported (my guess would be around 2026-2027 or so), AS would have evolved considerably, and support for Intel would be a drag on resources. Once Intel is 100% out, then Apple will be able to fully focus on AS without having the burden of legacy support.
I could be wrong, who knows, maybe Intel support will end as early as 2024-2025 (which would suck for 2020 Intel MBP owners), but the final macOS for Intel Macs would continue to get small feature updates for a while. Who knows, time will tell.

Glad to see all my Macs are supported, although I am not in a rush to install Monterey.
I just tossed my 2014 MBP in the trash minutes ago and the trash truck just took it away. Thanks for nothing, Apple.
How is it obsolete? Big Sur'll receive security updates until late 2023.
Apple really should put the series 3 out of its WatchOS update misery and be done with it.
- iMac Pro - 2017 and later
😆
So what's in macOS 12 that's caused them to cut off more macs? I have a late 2015 iMac which is supported, but now it's the minimal requirement for an iMac. With Big sur, there were both the 2014, and 2015 iMac supported.
I didn't watch the Keynote, I'm just going through and looking up information that applies to me. So I figured, I'd ask here to see if anyone might know.
