Steve Jobs unveiled the first MacBook Air in early 2008 to mixed reviews, but a series of redesigns and hardware refreshes through the years have resulted in a product line that has had a huge impact on the industry. As most expected, the standard MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air were refreshed for 2012, the latter of which we will be looking at today.
That will have given it 10 major OS X or macOS releases from 10.9 - 10.18 and that will be the longest amount of time that Apple has ever officially supported a Mac for and I think it will happen.Analysts and users alike are still talking about the new MacBook Pro with Retina display that was introduced last month during Apple's keynote at the annual WWDC, but that wasn't the only new system that Cupertino ousted at the event. The 2015 MacBook Pro is one of Apple's most popular MacBooks and if they supported it for 6 major OS X or macOS releases, that would be 10.10 - 10.16 and I think Apple will support it for 8 years as they did with the Late 2009 MacBook because it's such a popular machine.Īll of Apple's Haswell MacBooks are still holding up really well in 2020 and I still recommend the 2015 MacBook Pro to loads of people because it will last for a good 3 - 4 years longer.Īll of Apple's MacBooks from 2013 - 2015 apart from the 2015 MacBook Air use Haswell CPUs so I can see the 2013 MacBook Air being supported all the way up until macOS 10.18 which will be released in 2022. MacOS 10.143 High Sierra runs on some old MacBooks all the way back to 2009, giving them 8 years of support and 8 major OS X releases before being killed off in 10.14 Mojave. Apple used Haswell CPUs all the way up to 2015 in the MacBook Pro's so any MacBook with a Haswell CPU will be supported for a good few years longer.
The 2013 MacBook Air uses a 4th-Gen Haswell CPU. For the 2013 that would be 10.8 - 10.13 High Sierra but Apple has decided to support it in Mojave 10.14 and Catalina 10.15 and will support it in 10.16 and possibly into 10.17 because of how popular these 2013 MacBooks are. Catalina is currently supported on all Macs since 2012 so the next version will run on the 2013.Īpple normally gives its MacBooks up to 6 years of support and 6 major OS X releases.
