A few weeks ago I had excellent results using this to install Ventura on a 2017 MacBookPro13,3. While obviously not as fast as a newer machine, everything I tried so far works great, iCloud, Universal Control, latest apps etc.

Compared to other vendors, it seems like Apple has an aggressive obsolescence position. This app offers a significant countervailing force to eWaste, and IMO deserves broader recognition. Authors: great job, thank you.

Apple has abandoned OS upgrades for a 5 year old, $1000+ laptop?

Windows, Linux and even ChromeOS offer at least double that support lifetime, Apple must really think MacOS hardware and software is an afterthought given their IDGAF mindset towards MacOS upgrades.

More than double at least until Windows 11. You could get 2008 era systems to run Windows 10 fairly decently assuming you replaced the HDD with an SSD.

I mean as much as I sometimes like to shit on Apple. My MBP 2015 is still running with macOS Monterey with security and safari update. Although I think this could be the last year they put an update to it. I hope they will continue to bump out Safari update though.
