There are few things quite as emblematic of late stage capitalism than the concept of “planned obsolescence”.

    Are you cherry picking? Check Sonoma compatibility list, only for iMac 2019 or later

      How is it cherrypicking? The OS isn’t even out yet. I’m literally going off the current OS.

      Where is this computer that got dropped after less than 5 years?

        Ok sorry it will be out in October. Owners will get extra 3 months of support. This completely changes everything

            Maybe you didn’t notice due to the Stockholm syndrome, but when Apple discontinues support, you can’t get the latest apps. Yay can get security updates for another 12 months! But can’t install the latest apps as they’re required to target the latest os version to be published in the app store. Victory

            I don’t understand you. Google is shitty because Chromebooks get 6 years of updates (not their fault if the school is buying old new stock that sat in a warehouse for 4 years), but apple is an hero because their products in average get 6 years of os updates + a full extra year of security updates? That extra year changes everything?

            While Google is shitty because x86 Linux+chrome could be automatically updated indefinitely for decades with no effort at all, at least on their devices you could install an alternative os, giving a second life on old devices. iPads and iPhones can’t run an alternative os. And the alternative os selection on the m1 macs is limited too

                in my language: “che palle, ma se te l’ho detto prima…”

                someone could have bought an imac A1419 on march 18, 2019 and that lost major OS updates on october 24, 2022. That’s just 3 years of major OS updates for the buyer. It will get less than 5 years of total support for the buyer.

                you again cherrypicked your example, with a third party app that’s not in the app store. Go to watch the requirements of a 1st party app like final cut pro x and see if it can work in your 2010 mac mini…

                Before you say “but that got released in 2017!!!11!!11!!” - go to watch your post history and see that you did the same for the school chromebook example. It came out from the factory with 7 years of updates, but it was bought after it sat 4 years in a warehouse
