Support for and actual running on that hardware is two completely separate things of course

Actually, Apple still puts out security and Safari updates for:
• The current macOS
• The previous macOS
• and one more
so today that means:
• macOS 10.13 gets full updates
• macOS 10.12 gets security & Safari updates
• macOS 10.11 gets security & Safari updates
This fall they will likely drop anything for 10.11, but, still put out security updates for 10.12 on.
Not shocked for iMac 2011 getting dropped nothing with Mac Eco System ever lasts more 3-4 years anyway I guess im lucky it lasted this long.
They are crazy expensive right now but i just got a sapphire pulse 560(from newegg) which is recommended by apple and it works perfectly. Much more affordable and lower power than the 570 and 580 which is nice.
It's not a matter of what you can/can't afford. I was ready to buy an 27" iMac as soon as they refresh it but my MBP is still working and I planned to keep it for a while.
I actually didn't mind the requirements for HS and thought they would keep on supporting their computers for 7-9 years. Cutting that to 6 is quite bad IMO, and for some silly features... It's making me rethink my upgrade plan.
On top of that, they're not even keeping their Mac lineup up to date with Intel's.
Also spending ~$400 on a 2012 MBP that I won't be able to upgrade to 10.15 seems like a really bad idea.
Buy a new Mac then. One shouldn't expect their machine to receive updates forever. You're using pretty ancient hardware if your machine isn't compatible.
Obviously, but at least they offer the option instead of arbitrarily deciding when a computer should go to the dump.
I care none for this. Someone will manage to bypass restrictions sooner or later. Maybe a good chance to build a 18 core ryzen hackintosh with dual 1080 in a good old aluminium mac pro tank. And of course dual boot. It's quite amusing your next computer to be ten times faster and still to have the original apple logo on it

They better update the Mac Mini, pretty soon macOS wont even support the 2014s
Just think of the people that go into an Apple store and buys one now, not realizing they are buying a machine made so long ago... that could fall off the list as soon as next year or two.
At least until 10.14 is actually released. After that, 10.13 should still get security & Safari updates for another couple years/OS cycles.
Your computer will still work and have exactly the same functionality as when you bought it for as long as it boots. Apple not releasing their latest os for it isn’t them deciding it is time for it to go to the dumps. That’s all on you.
?
There is no macOS & iOS integration going on, the only thing they announced was developer ability to port iOS apps into macOS apps coming in 2019. ...If you saw the keynote, he said macOS and iOS will continue to be separate entities.
Well, just have to drop $2k for a new 27" this fall/winter and give/sell my 2011 27" model, but I think the guys over at insanelymac will come up with a solution before long.

1. Apple supports current and -1 release, that’s a fact.
2. Your current Macs won’t stop working when Mojave is released.
3. If things like this already make you so worried, maybe you’re not on the right platform at all. Switch.
I’m just happy Kawasaki, molson and my roofing tile manufacture do not run their company like Apple does.
Statistically, consumers who wouldn’t be aware of that would’ve been buying MacBooks or iMacs anyway.

Tell that to the guy I replied to.
One more MacOS release, and there will be NO more apple hardware new enough to run it since they have not updated anything in years.
What you fail to notice from just reading the specs is that, for example, AMD never released a official Windows 10 driver for their pre-GCN graphics. This means that they were obsoleted in 2015. This is the exact same situation as Apple: a Sandy Bridge iMac can't run Windows 10, something that happened 3 years earlier.
Windows support is contingent on hardware vendor support, which often bails earlier than Apple does.

two of the three computers in our house make the cut but the one that doesn’t, my 2011 imac, is by far the most powerful in the house
