Rumor: macOS 15 to Support Same Macs as macOS Sonoma, With One Possible Exception

In a recent post on X, a leaker claimed that macOS 15 will be compatible with all Apple silicon Macs starting from the M1 chip and newer, as well as all Intel-based Macs equipped with Apple's T2 security chip. If this information holds true, macOS 15 would support all the Macs that are currently compatible with macOS Sonoma, with one potential exception: the 2019 iMac.

macOS Sonoma is compatible with the 2019 iMac, which lacks a T2 chip, raising questions about whether this model will support macOS 15 or be dropped from the compatibility list. Read Mo

Here is the rumored compatibility list for macOS 15:

 MacBook Pro: 2018 and later

MacBook Air: 2018 and later

Mac Mini: 2018 and later

iMac: 2019 and later

iMac Pro: 2017

Mac Studio: 2022 and later

Mac Pro: 2019 and later

The iMac would need to be in 2020 and later if a T2 chip is required.

Even if macOS 15 remains compatible with many Intel-based Macs, new on-device AI capabilities are likely to be limited to Apple silicon Macs, which feature a Neural Engine.

The leaker, who has a private account on X, has opted not to reveal their name or share a link to their post. However, they have previously provided accurate information on Apple's software update compatibility and build numbers.

As for the name of macOS 15, that remains a mystery. Read More.......
