When will the IMAC 2019 RETINA 4K 1-5 Be unsupported?

Hi I got iMac 2019

3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 processor

graphics Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB

memory 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

running 15.2 (24C101)


my question is when do you think the iMac will be unsupported do you see it getting Mac OS 16???


it would be such a shame to see this computer go to waste this early, as I think it's still such a good product, and isn't even slow, even though it's got Fusion Drive it works so fast, and smoothly



do you see apple supporting this still??



thanks (:



please nice replies it's general question not asking for like opinion,.

Since it's capable of running macOS 15 Sequoia, it should still be supported until such time as macOS 18 is released, at which point (assuming it does not qualify for macOS 16) it would roll off of the supported OS list.


Apple, and most developers, typically support the current and two previous major releases of macOS.

That would be approximately fall of fall of 2027. Of course, it is possible that it might get macOS 16, which would push it out another year.


Depending on what you want to do with it, supported and useful may be two completely different things.
