macOS Compatibility Checker: Can your Mac run macOS 27 Golden Gate?
Macworld Wondering which versions of macOS your Mac can run? Want to know if you will be able to run macOS 27 Golden Gate on your Mac when it launches? We’ve put together a macOS compatibility checker that will show you what Macs the different versions of macOS and Mac OS X support, so you can tell what version you should be running on your Mac if you want the latest features and security protections. Read on to find out exactly which Macs are supported by each version of the Mac operating system. Latest supported macOS version The latest macOS version is macOS 26 Tahoe, which can run on all M-series Macs and a small number of Intel-powered Macs from 2019, but the older Macs don’t get all the new features. There are also two versions of macOS that receive security updates: macOS 15 Sequoia and macOS 14 Sonoma. Latest version: macOS 26 Tahoe, released September 15, 2025 Latest update: macOS 26.5.1, released June 1, 2026 improving stability, performance and compatibility Supports: All M-series Macs and most Intel Macs from 2019 onward Security-supported versions: macOS 15 Sequoia (15) and Sonoma (14) still get critical security updates Later in 2026 a new version of macOS will launch called macOS 27 Golden Gate. The same M-series Macs will be supported, but all Intel Macs will miss out on the upcoming features. Which version of macOS can my Mac run? Apple releases a new version of the Mac operating system every year—but the newest version of the Mac operating system does not support every Mac. Each year more and more Macs fall off the compatibility list and are unable to be updated to take advantage of the latest features. Here’s a simple table you can use to identify the version of macOS your Mac can run based on the year it was introduced. Note there are some exceptions where only certain models are compatible with a macOS version. For more details of specific models check the sections later on in this article.

The number of iPhones stolen in London that have been reactivated by thieves has plummeted in recent weeks, preventing them from being sold and, hopefully, making iPhones less likely to be stolen in the future.Apple's Stolen Device Protection is getting the job doneThe theft of iPhones has become a real problem for London in recent years. So much so that some thieves have been known to hand back a stolen phone if it turns out not to be an iPhone.Thieves typically use mopeds to ride up to a victim before snatching their iPhone and riding off. But the thieves don't want the iPhone itself; they want to sell it on for cash. And that only works if they can unlock and reset it. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
