• Which Macs will run Sequoia?

Apple’s WWDC 2024 event on June 10 finally focused on the operating system glow-ups that’ll sit behind the screens of most Macs released in the past few years.

MacOS 15, officially dubbed MacOS Sequoia, doesn’t have an official release date yet, but typical timelines from the developer conference in years past point to beta availability across the summer leading up to official release in September or October 2024. Apple did, however, release the official list of the devices that will be compatible with Sequoia, with eligibility mostly hinging on the year the device was made.

Which Macs will run Sequoia?

MacBook Pro — 2018 and later

MacBook Air — 2020 and later

iMac — 2019 and later

iMac Pro — 2017 and later

Mac Studio — 2022

Mac Mini — 2018 and later

Mac Pro — 2019 and later

So really, two MacBook Airs (the 2018 and 2019 models) are the only devices cut between Sequoia and Sonoma, Apple’s 2023 MacOS drop.

iMac and Mac Studio seekers might have to be down to pay full price for their upgrade (unless they want to take the used or refurbished route). However, if you’re in the market for a new MacBook Pro or Air or a Mac mini, here are all the Sequoia-compatible Macs that are on sale, according to our biweekly Apple deals scan:

Of course, Apple isn’t immune to the pull of AI (that’s Apple Intelligence to you), as MacOS Sequoia has also been sprinkled with magic machine learning dust from ChatGPT to enhanced Siri commands.
