There was a time when you had to pay for the next major version. I think it went free around mountain lion or so?

[-] shinratdr@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

And even then it was only $20. The last time it was over $99 was 16 years ago.

[-] urhovaldeko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Indeed. Last two were twenty.

After 4 years, you have to pay $1999 to get a new iMac. (all numbers were made up)

My 2010 MacBook Pro disagrees

2012 MBP still going strong as a daily driver.

You're saying your 13 year old macbook is still getting updates? I know the Pro models usually have extended support, but 13 years sounds a bit extreme. The latest version of OS X that supports the 2010 Macbook Pro is High Sierra from 2017.

Updates? No, but still runs like a champ. Even so, an OS from 7 years after its manufacture date is pretty good. My main point was against your “after 4 years” you need to buy a new Mac.

I've got MacOS 13 running on a 2010 MacBook Pro with OpenCore Legacy Patcher. It's not the fastest laptop but it runs way better than you'd expect a first gen mobile i7 to handle a modern OS

Heah, my 2013 MBP died this year (at least the wifi module did), so I replaced it. 9 years is good in my book
