Is is the Last Listed Security Update for Monterey, so far


If you are meaning the Last Security Update for Monterey


Apple has Generally issued Security Updates for the last 3 versions of macOS and for about 3 Years since the date of Release.


As Monterey was released Oct 27, 2021 , then add 3 years to that, would mean about October 27, 2024 would be the end of Security Updates

Think we have a small misunderstand and sorry if I was the cause of this :-((


Oct 27, 2024 would probably the end of security update for Monterey


would there be any more updates for software, or new things?


i don’t know how to say it

and if i wanted to use the updates of sonoma, i would have to buy a new mac?

To use Sonoma macOS 14 you need one of the computers listed in like below


macOS Sonoma is compatible with these computers


If your machine does not appear as Qualifying for Sonoma >>


Explore the Apple Trade-In  Process where the Value of the exiting device could be used against the cost of a new Apple Computer, iPhone or iPad 


Notation - Some devices and depending on the computers age may have little to no value at Trade In time.


But at least the device will not arrive to the Land Fill Site and be recycled in a responsible way by Apple


Or Shop Refurbished Apple computers at an Apple Reduced Cost


Have used both previously and have been satisfied each time.
