Which macOS versions are still supported?

Apple provides regular feature and security updates for the current version of macOS and generally continues to issue security updates for the previous two major versions.

As of September 2026, macOS 27 Golden Gate is the current version. Apple also released security updates for macOS 26 Tahoe and macOS 15 Sequoia alongside Golden Gate on September 14, 2026.

With the arrival of Golden Gate, macOS Sonoma appears to have dropped out of Apple’s regular support cycle, with its most recent update released in August 2026.

Occasionally Apple releases updates for much older versions of macOS to address specific problems. For example, in February 2026 it issued updates for Big Sur and Catalina to address a certificate issue affecting FaceTime and Messages.

r/MacOS on Reddit: With the support of MacOS Ventura likely ending this year, what can be done with an old MacBook Pro 2017?
January 2, 2025 -

As far as I know there are four options available:

  1. continue using the old unsupported MacOS,

  2. downloading a newer MacOS through Open Core Legacy Patcher,

  3. downloading Linux,

  4. and working on the MacBook through a Virtual Machine.

However…

  • I have read that using an old MacOS is unsafe (Is it really if you just browse reputable sites through FireFox and only download items from reputable sources?),

  • I don’t know if OCLP is compatible with real software (apps from AppStore or from a recognized 3rd party like AutoCAD),

  • there are issues with Linux lacking drivers for newer Macs and non existent power management,

  • and what is the performance like working on a Mac through a VM?

The hardware still works and the battery health is Normal, so I don’t feel like there’s a reason to upgrade.
