If it’s stable I’m tempted as my iMac is still on Sierra

Typically Xcode is supported on at least two operating systems (the latest release and the previous release). For example, Xcode 11 is supported on Mojave and Catalina so you should be good for another year.

Yeah it's absurd. I have the 2.6GHz Quad Core 2012 Mac Mini (the top spec CPU), with 16GB RAM and an SSD. It destroys the 2014 Mac Mini, which they still support. It destroys the 2013 MacBook Air, which they still support.
Mine too
But I haven't even put Catalina on my Late 2012 iMac.Do you not realise there's little wrong with computers from 2012? Performance has not advanced as much as you think. My 2012 Mac Mini and 2013 iMac both with quad core i7s are still extremely fast and capable machines today.

Are you saying the iMac 2013 will be compatible with Big Sur? Where are you seeing that exactly?
I'm not seeing anything about Big Sur on that page at all.
The latest version of macOS is Catalina. So no, the page says nothing about Big Sur. Sadly.
I still don't see where you get the idea that the iMac 2013 will be compatible with Big Sur. I'd love for that to be true. But the link from Apple doesn't say anything about it.
So the cMP's days are finally numbered? They have defied the odds for over a decade and are one of Apple's greatest machines.
No news of iPadOS being able to run more apps than the available memory.
So if that affects your workflow, you might still need a Mac.
So a 2012 rMBP with a quad core i7 and a GT 650M is not good enough, but a 1.1ghz dual core Intel core M and Intel graphics in a MacBook is fine.
Right. Thank God for dosdude!

Looks like it might be time for an upgrade! I've had this Early 2013 rMBP for 7 years and still works flawlessly! I know the speed on the new machines is going to substantially faster but having the same size SSD for a the same money 7 years on is a bit of a let down.
Maybe people already said this above, but Mojave is stable and great. I have a 2017 MBP, which isn’t terribly new, and I LOVE the combination.
I can’t think of any good reason to “upgrade” to Catalina, let alone anything that comes after. I hear of almost nothing but misery and requisite software upgrades.
Shouldn’t I just keep sitting here, very happy with Mojave? I’m not a power user (or I’d have a newer computer; this one should get me through 2023 or so...).
Disappointed my late 2012 iMac doesn't make the cut as it's a more than capable machine. My late 2013 MBP just sneaks in....
I have quadcore 2012 macmini with 512GBssd and 1Thd, 16GB, it run pretty well, actually the best suitable macos which was capable to use the most of it, was el capitan.

Propably El Capitan, as for latest possible .. my experience ..

I am quite happy that my 2012 non-retina MBP 15 lasted this long, kept pace with me no matter what I threw at it, and is doing fine with Catalina. I was already thinking of getting a new one next year, but I think I can wait till 2022 when the Arm MBPs and MacOS 11 are into their second year.
