I mean I ran my 2011 mbp into the ground, until the point that the SMC’s fan channels stopped working and it always rebooted at exactly 00:00 for no apparent reason, and never had issues with apps not being able to run on a 3 year old version of the OS. After that 3 year period most apps still worked, although some would indeed start targeting newer api’s.

I know it was volunteering work, and I don’t want to defend apple any further than strictly here, but saying they “murdered” the OS every 7 years is just straight up not true, that was all I wanted to say.

To be pedantic, macs are usually supported for 7 OS releases, which are annual. Every OS version is then supported for about 3 years. So a new Mac released this year will receive its last update in about 10 years.

Not great, not terrible. Also, idk about the apple silicon macs, but with the Intel macs there was usually a way to update it unofficially past the 7 year last supported version, stretching it for a few more.
