Apple’s upcoming macOS Tahoe, set to launch in the fall of 2025, will discontinue support for several Mac models that were previously compatible with macOS Sequoia. It’s essential for users to assess whether their Mac can run this latest operating system. According to Apple, macOS Tahoe will officially support a select range of models, including:
– MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
– MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later)
– MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019)
– MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
– iMac (2020 and later)
– Mac mini (2020 and later)

However, several earlier models will no longer be supported.
These include:

– iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)
– iMac Pro (2017)

If your Mac model is not listed among those supported, it will not receive the macOS Tahoe upgrade, and the option for this update won’t appear in the Settings menu once it’s released. For those whose Macs are compatible, macOS Tahoe will introduce a sleek “Liquid Glass” design, featuring translucent menus, tinted folders, and a refined Dock. New functionalities include enhanced Continuity with a native Phone app, Live Activities, and an AI-powered Spotlight for easier access to features.
Additionally, the update will introduce a dedicated Games app and improvements via Metal 4, creating an immersive gaming experience. Make sure to check your Mac’s compatibility as the launch approaches so you can take full advantage of the innovative features in macOS Tahoe.
