All the macOS Ventura Supported Devices… Is your Mac safe?
A new macOS big release is on its way soon. Apple called it “Ventura,” and it may be the most interesting macOS update in recent years, with a bunch of new features and optimizations that boost user experience and help the integration between Apple devices. But similar to what we’ve seen with the iOS 16 supported devices, macOS Ventura is also closing its doors for many old Mac computers.
No need to panic here because the update is officially compatible with most Macs from about four to five years ago, and if you have one of these, there is a big chance that you will be able to enjoy the new Stage Manager and all the improvements on Safari, Mail, Messages, and other apps.
Below, you can find all the macOS Ventura-supported devices across every Mac category from Apple.
