Description of issue

Just doing a routine update and got this message:

Warning: You are using macOS 12.
We (and Apple) do not provide support for this old version.

I don't believe that 12 (I'm on Monterey = 12.4) is no longer supported by apple. Is this correct information?

The current latest macOS 12.x version, 12.7.6, is expected to be the last update for Monterey. macOS 15 releases on Monday alongside macOS 13.7 and macOS 14.7 and Apple support only 3 macOS versions at a time (so 13, 14 & 15).

We too only have CI testing resources to support 3 macOS versions. We've reallocated our macOS 12 CI to be macOS 15 yesterday.

Apropos of earlier remarks, Apple has still not dropped official support for Monterey.

carlocab Oct 4, 2024

Has Apple released a new version of Monterey since they last updated either of Ventura or Sonoma?

Jmuccigr Oct 4, 2024

How is that relevant to the prediction that Apple would officially drop support for Monterey when it announced Sequoia? They're not shy about making those announcements and they haven't.

carlocab Oct 4, 2024

Can you point to announcements they've made in the past about dropping support? When and where did they announce that Big Sur was no longer supported?

p-linnane Oct 4, 2024

Apple doesn't make announcements about dropping support. They just stop shipping updates. As @Bo98 said: Apple's policy on this has been consistent for the last 12 years. You'll notice that when macOS 15 was released we also received macOS 14.7 and macOS 13.7. If Apple was going to change their policy then we should've seen a Monterey update.

There is no point in arguing this. We only support the 3 latest releases of macOS.
