macOS 13 Ventura Release Date

Apple's newest macOS Ventura is being released on October 24, 2022 along with iOS 16.1 and iPad OS 16.  Ventura has many new and expanded features including Stage Manager, Continuity Camera, Handoff expands to Facebook, SharePlay works in Messages, Mail has had a significant upgrade, Shared Tabs in Safari, Live Text, Metal 3 and much more.

Unfortunately, many of the new macOS features will only work on the newer Macs. If you are wondering if your Mac can run macOS Ventura, here is the list of Macs capable of doing so:

• MacBook models from 2017 or later
• MacBook Air models from 2018 or later
• MacBook Pro models from 2017 or later
• Mac mini models from 2018 or later
• iMac models from 2017 or later
• iMac Pro (all models)
• Mac Pro models from 2019 or later
• Mac Studio (all models)

If you do not see your Mac on the previous list, it means that some Macs previously supported by Monterey (which should be supported for two more years) will not be able to run Ventura. This is how long Apple will support Macs. These models are as follows:

• Mac (models from 2015)
• MacBook Air (models from 2015 and 2017 models)
• MacBook Pro (2015 and 2016 models)
• Mac mini (2014 models)
• Mac Pro (2013 model: cylinder/trash can)
• MacBook (2016 model)
