If Apple does a "ARM changes the world" addition to the Mac line up that will probably shorten times all around the currently selling Macs by 1-3 years (depending upon how much the "ARM" Macs overlap with current stuff.

They only stick to where the law makes them hand out hardware for sale, but the software is toast ( there is no "making them" there). The two year slack in their '5-7 ' language basically got used up during their Rip van Winkle nap on updating the Mac Pro.

Possibly at the end of 3 years (if they get vast majority to move on to new Mac Pro and the iMac Pro or some other Mac. I'd would peg it at probably another 4 years ( 2023 which should be 10.19) until the macOS gets dropped. Pragmatically that would put the Vintage count down clock already on one year at the point at which 10.15 gets released. The relatively low, low, low volumes on the current Mac Pro are basically at big odds with that approach given the way Apple does things ( largely with outsourcing contractors. "manufacturing" date matches up with sell date just as long as deeply committed to almost complete "Just in time" production. So Apple will pick the last day they did a major order run at the factory for fixed configs as the last "manufacturing" date. ( Yet another reason to now 'hide' the buy button under layers. Apple is not being their usual "Just in time Manufacturing" selves and have stockpiled enough to last for the very low volume of orders they are getting. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mac Pro generally being sold now had their major chassis built back in 2018. I suspect the Mac Pro 2013 will 'cheat' a bit in that the manufacturing of what is being sold done is time stamped a substantively longer time back. Mac Pro 2013 went way past the usual 7-9 year window Apple generally shoots for ( 1-2 years to stop manufacturing and then the vintage countdown clock. So expectations shouldn't extend past where the hardware is dropped off.
However, Apple also doesn't particularly view software as completely detached from hardware either. Apple doesn't put an explicit "line in the sand" for software. Software support is extremely unlikely to extent past getting onto the Obsolete status ( past Vintage and explicitly on Obsolete ). Owners of iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Mac products may obtain service and parts from Apple or Apple service providers for 5 years after the product is no longer manufactured-or longer where required by law."
Technically Apple's Vintage and Obsolete policy is on manufacture and hardware. You need to be on High Sierra or later for that. One exception is Apple Watch support for unlocking your Mac. So far, though, technical requirements have been meaningful. By then, it will be over 10 years, you probably should have gotten a good return on investment, to at least buy a refurb 2019 or 2020 Mac Pro that could very well carry you through for the next 8 to 10 years.Īlso, I am sure Apple will likely use it as an incentive to push upgrades to the new model. So, you very well run it for another 2 years. That said, even if 10.17 or 10.16 is the last, Apple remains generous with security updates. I suspect Apple wants to put the 2013 behind it as fast as it can, which brings me to the conclusion, at a minimum there could only be one or two macOS upgrades remaining. So, if you bought one two years ago or just this week, you kinda went into this with eyes wide open knowing there would be a replacement. So, I see a similar scenario happening with the 2013 Mac Pro, but under this circumstance, its been the same machine for the last 6 years.Īpple pretty much told folks 2 years ago they were working on a new design.

So, if you bought a PowerMac G5 in June 2006 and it came with Tiger, you only got one OS X upgrade and that was it. Apple released its last PowerPC Mac up to summer 2006, yet the last OS X release for PowerPC Mac was 2007’s Leopard.
