At the WWDC 2022 event, Apple also showcased the upcoming macOS Ventura features, like an improved search option, new search design, live caption support across audio content, and more. While the features were great, the most important question is, which Mac computers will receive the macOS Ventura update?
Will Your Mac Get the macOS Ventura Update? List of Compatible Devices
Every new macOS release marks an end to older hardware. And this time, macOS Ventura has ruled out more than five years old Macs. This also means macOS Ventura will not be available to Macs launched before 2017.
macOS 13 Ventura: Compatible MAC devices
Well, Apple has already published a page where it has listed all devices that will support macOS Ventura. You can check that webpage to know all compatible Mac devices. If you cannot open the webpage, check out the list below.
iMac 2017 and later iMac Pro 2017 MacBook Air 2018 and later MacBook Pro 2017 and later Mac Pro 2019 and later Mac Studio 2022 Mac mini 2018 and later MacBook 2017 and later
So, these MAC devices will get the macOS Ventura Update when rolled out later this year.
